Fragile Orb It begins with all by water’s fall A liquid stream begins the dream A bit of soap slid here and there A fragile beginning of non-compare Little bubbles by gravity’s pull Leaving behind larger bubbles full Of iridescent, glorious bows Sheer rain’s delight as everyone knows My arm would lend a curve to bend Bubbles silk in delighted tend Is this where only bubbles grow? I think you realize the answer: no! Bubbles grow from bits of gum And chewing begins all the fun Lips pursed close, such as this Pretending but a delightful kiss Then blow a bit as soon to find Comedic magic in all mankind A childish act, a winsome sight Then a burst of cherry delight Then the hold of plastic pipe Brings forth bubbles’ iridescent stripe A summer day, a childhood giggle, Bubbles fly while bodies wiggle But for me? Simple bubble’s silken feel Shimmers rainbows in A.M.’s real In showers follows where fingers stray, Allowing me a moment’s play. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 8 January 2002 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (01-08-2002 10:46 PM).] |

intriguing look into a feeling we all love....a clean feeling. 'A word is dead when it is said, some say. |

Kari darling sister of my soul this is sooooooooo truly YOU. A rainbow of delight scattering light with playful and sensuality. I love it into my library with you darling girl. Now go and blow some more bubbles. You do recall I suppose that one of my nicknames is Bubbles, for obvious reasons darling delight. No one enjoys bubbling quite as much as me Utterly utterly fabulous writing as always   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Karilea - Nice ode to the glorious bubble. Very good. By the way, if you have time, I put together a revised stanza for that Aching poem. I posted it in a reply. Let me know what you think. Thanks Dave |

in a word: Deee-lightful! and what a wonderful metaphor of his fragile things of beauty and how fleeting are the times of relaxation and play. Great stuff written playfully. tSR |
