Bubble

Born in a crash
Of water against shore.

Borne by the air,
Out of control.

All by myself.

Floating free.
Floating higher.
Floating nowhere.
Floating somewhere.

Tumbling,
Bobbing,
Weaving.
Rising.
Drifting.

Pop!

Suddenly, it hit me-it's just a bubble, a damn good poem, and I need to stop drinking so much coffee.

Ah, I see - I guess I mixed my metaphors a bit. The science of salt water bubbles never crossed my mind. I'm glad it was acceptable despite any such inaccuracies...

Oh, I don't know anything about the science of saltwater bubbles. I was just gonna wing it with a little help from wikipedia. The Science of Saltwater Bubbles sounds like a field manual for an oilfield geologist.

Re: Bubble

I liked it, though I was expecting some kind of huge deep meaning behind it. Perhaps, ones there and I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Anyways, I like the way the poem truly made you picture a bubble in your head. Having memories of playing with bubbles as a lad, made this poem, alittle nostalgic and something enjoyable to read and think about.

Re: Bubble

Thanks, Hakanami. Glad you liked it.

To be honest, I see deep meaning in everything, which is probably a serious flaw on my part...

Hmmm. Not really my favorite. Kind of annoyingly choppy.

Re: Bubble

I don't find this choppy at all, or any less smooth than the swirls and dips of a bubble... which suits it quite well considering it is about a bubble! The only suggestion I have is to let the "All by myself" stand alone, so the first and second stanzas form a pattern broken by the loneliness.

I love the "pop" at the end! Hehe reminded me of making bubbles in the backyard as a child which always popped far too soon. Nice one Jay, thoroughly enjoyed
