Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Blossoms and Bubbles

One night I lay in bed. It was in spring.
Outside my house were tiny buds on trees.
I spied them from my window blossoming
before my eyes, and then as if to tease
me, they grew huge with multi-colors bright.
They broke free from their branches; up they rose
enchantingly into the star-filled night -
not blossoms any more, I would suppose!

I raced outside to see how high they’d lift
as if they were balloons that were fleeing!
They’d  grown transparent. As I watched them drift,
it dawned on me - bubbles I was seeing!
A beeping sound ensued. The bubbles popped!
That damn alarm! My lovely dream was stopped.

Charles Bernabi April 4, 2015 at 1:16 AM I think your beautiful sonnet would present better on the page if left aligned but nonetheless it's what's within that's most important and in that you have written a truly awesome poem in sonnet form. Thanks for sharing it with Poetry Soup.

Woman seem to be overtaking us men. I once entered a contest and my girl of the time did, too - she won a prize - I did not! Good luck in the contest! Peace & Love Matthew Anish'
