Kim Shaw Poet Sonnet

Blossoms and Bubbles

Off to the garden to share in a tea
Sweet Juliana has just become three
Billowy dress sprayed with cottonballs pink
Tiny white shoes, for a doll you would think


She sings to the blossoms in childish song
Whirling and twirling, soft curls like goose down
Held in her hand sacred wand of delight
Dreaming of bubbles so feathery light


Sweet rosy pucker blows soft angel air
Froths of moist bubbles float down everywhere
Rainbow of colors and liquidy swirls
Bubbles, oh bubbles, true heavenly pearls


Our garden of youth, adventure filled fun
Long summer days where we played in the sun

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser April 12, 2015 at 9:59 AM Kimberly, simplicity but the lively and lovely attributes of blossoms and bubbles you display in your first stanza by using a child(a 3y/o on bloom, excited and vibrant to roam and roam), then this is supported by you spraying a delightful picture of bubbles in the air. I love the 3rd stanza best though the 3rd line seems not as playful as the other lines. Thank you and my CONGRATULATIONS!... ;) ! hugs//olive eloisa

Diane Lefebvre March 31, 2015 at 12:14 PM Your poetry always evokes old, sweet memories in me, Kimberly. This is just lovely with just the perfect last line. It makes me think of my granddaughters when they were little girls and I would tell them 'little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice'. Kim Shaw March 31, 2015 at 1:16 PM Hi Diane! Well that makes me really happy to hear that my poem brought back some lovely memories for you! I was remembering my own childhood where I played in my grandma's garden on sunny, summer days. Hugs, Kimberly
