Bubbles

Clay pipes give birth to bouncing orbs frolicking, glassy, soapy, slippery delights chased by golden haired cherubs who shriek with merriment and poke chubby fingers at balls of glistening wetness suspended spheres of liquid light bump onto dog's noses who snap at empty air as helter skelter, they fly high into a teasing breeze as pop! and their short lives are quickly ended in wet patches on a neighbor's driveway.. as startled children say 'Is that all there is?'

Valerie, this is such a wonderful read. I still love making bubbles. We usually keep a big bottle of the stuff on our porch through the nice weather. Always fun, even for the big kids! Great write! Thank you for your thoughtful comments! Love, Robin

Awesome write. I love bubbles. I actually blow catnip bubbles for my cat - hey, it's the little things in life, you know? Well, wow I can just see this scene with little kidlets and dog and the poem beginning in your mind. Turned out to be extremely excellent. Love, Shar
