BUBBLES a bubble is blown and there I am floating until I try to fill the whole sky -- and burst or meet some unseen speck of death -- and burst or yield to gravity’s tireless tug -- and burst and then parts of me are swallowed by the sky drunk by the ocean lost in dust and what is left must swallow the sky drink the ocean mold the dust for I am the child that blows through the ring of wire I dip in a soapy cup poetry podcasts, blogs and[ photopoems at URL= http://anthonyarmstrong.ca |

Anthony~ You caught me between a *smile* and a *giggle* with this fantastic write~ Why *smile* or *giggle* you may ask .. well, my almost-four-year-old grandie girlie and I were out on the patio by the pool ... blowing bubbles and watching them land on the surface to be 'swallowed up' by the swirling water spillover from the spa~ Things like bubble-blowing and kite-flying are things that keep me young~ Loved reading your take on blowing bubbles and their destiny~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Oh, I love this! Like dear Marge and Landry, I adore soap bubbles , it relaxes me enormously (yes I confess, I do them even when my little grandson isn't around ...). They are true magic. Captivating write! love Margherita |
