In a Bubble Boat

bubbles sailing
like toy boats
around a spring-made pond

they reach the edge
and disembark
with a pop
or are shot down
by air to ground missiles
in the shape of tiny tears

their color, a sidewalk gray
but more because they reflect the sky
as mirrors of this dawn

dancing, popping
rings of art
like fish that dart
about a lake
celebrating life

the day is gray
but not the mood
for, though the wind
is blustery
and the rain’s not prone to stop

we feast upon
the drinking land
and watch it fill to top

for April is a shower time
that dresses the days of May
with colorful, aroma-filled
in rainbow-like array

I think I’ll take
a bubble-boat
and sail to lands afar
a dreamland float
of joyous fun
and from
where taxes are!

(grin)

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

~ This stanza was expecially poetic and appealing!

Good to read you again!
