A Quickie

We’re both blowing bubbles out to the sea. Together, like children, we feel so carefree. They float away jiggling; then while we are giggling, we splash them with water. We must look so weird. But as quick as this poem, they have all disappeared! Written June 19, 2014 by Andrea Dietrich

Andrea, this is a very confusing metaphor for "a quickie". I did however, take the bait in anticipation....

Andrea I am a lonely man, you don't title a poem a quickie and then write about bubbles. This is actually adorable like someone I know would say. Me likes.

But whilst their there, this orb so clear. So away their blown, now nowhere near. But it's the fun of having them that makes children sing, and on another day, they'll bring them out once again. Fun loving poem Andrea :) James :)

Now I know what kind of quickie it is. You are good. My husband years ago traveled to Chicago, We got there late, we looked for a motel, nothing fancy. I told him - go find out how much it cost if it's too much, don't get it. My husband comes out with his cane trying to walk fast and a lady behind him saying - how much do you want to pay. He said nothing. we are not here for a quickie. $59..00 - we went and got a room for $30.00... Lucilla.

Lovely write, Andrea; somehow reminds me of Olive_eloi!! I wouldn't be surprised if it were the two of you blowing bubbles there:) Still, happy moments do not usually last long! [entered one quickie, but from a different angle.]
