Glistening orbs
Dance on air
Drifting skyward
Without a care
Iridescent spheres
Shimmering bright
Reflecting prisms
In the sunlight
Luminous globes
Fragile and frail
Constructed of
A diaphanous veil
Fleeting bubbles
Bursting free
Illusive sight
Imparting glee

A joyful way to start the day (didn’t mean to rhyme) !
Well done!
I love the rhyme, and I do it all the time myself! THANK YOU Joe!
What a beautiful piece – seemingly so simple but so intricate and carefully formed – perfect.
Thank you Ann for inspiring me.
You honor me Trevor! Thank you so kindly!
Greetings for the day!
Short and beautiful – the poem travels straight to the heart.

Thank you so much Satyananda, I am grateful for your kind words!
Cute poem. All you need is bubbles to forget your troubles. And I meant for that to rhyme. (That was for you, Joe.)
The more I read this poem, the more I want to go out into the sunshine and blow some bubbles. Calling it “cute” does not go far enough. It is beautiful.
Why thank you so much David. I still love blowing bubbles in the sunshine, and I am 67 years old! I appreciate your lovely compliment!
What a lovely light relief. Thank you.
I enjoyed reading “Bubbles”! (You know “Bubbles” is a successful poem when it prompts a reader to feel as if she’s on the set of the Lawrence Welk show!) I look forward to reading more of your work.
