Jan Allison Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Blossoms and Bubbles

Childhood memories of days in the sun
Running and playing, simply having fun
Hearing the squeals of joy and delight
As our bubbles rise quickly and take flight
See the happy smiles on the children’s faces
Whose bubble will win …watch as it races
That big one’s mine – it’s going to be first
Disaster strikes and the bubbles burst
Borne on a gentle summer breeze
Beautiful bubbles blowing in the trees
Mixing with the blossom floating down
Dressing the ground in a blush pink gown

Time to reminisce of days gone by
Oh how I wish that time didn't fly
