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

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

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'.

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

This is a lovely Sonnet, Kimberly, that brings back the memories of those long ago days filled with simple joys as a child in the garden of beautiful flowers spreading bubbles with our little magic wand...the story book time of our lives. I am sure Olive will love it. Best wishes and hugs, Sandra

Hi Sandra! Yes I was definitely remembering my grandmother's lush garden in this write; and I as the little girl with my favorite bubbles! They will always be cherished, wonder filled days to remember. Thank you so much for sharing those memories with me, and for the lovely wishes too! Warm hugs, Kimberly
