One of a billion, so empty and thin, The breath of a child can make me begin, A bloat to a bubble, soon free off the ring, Up into a breeze, not really a thing, Oily bright colours, a slip woozy shape I dance on the wind and make my escape.
Bold children chase, big eyes and quick giggles, I snag grandpa’s nose and it gives a wiggle. The snoozing old man so out unaware He’s forgotten the girl with red ribbon hair. She’s about to be snatched, hands intertwine, I sting papa’s eyes and he wakes just in time. He calls his granddaughter, the man slips away, Bubbles, soap bubbles, were angels today.
My grandmother used to tell me bubbles were angels invisible. Each time one popped a good deed was done. She was a poet with no pen. rip. hh
