Another Metaphor of Life MAG
October 14, 2008
bubbles.
god’s just a little kid
with a big bottle
of Miracle Bubbles
and a wand
dipping, blowing these
bubbles
all doomed to
pop
at one point or another.
they either drop
too fast, before
he can catch them,
or the biggest ones
pop!
before they’ve even
been launched.
it’s the little ones
that leave quietly
and take their time
gently
drifting
down
everyone leaves a mark,
you know,
but sooner or later
they’ve all evaporated.

Wow, this is really good. Really original. I especially liked the first stanza and the repititon of the word "pop".

This Poem isn't really that great because there's religions out there that have different meanings but for the life part it is very good in figuartive laungage.
Believe me, I'm a fan of figuartive laungage, it makes me write better and more understanding for the other readers that read my work.

Perfect metaphor for life; so ephemeral it is that our bubble may go pop at any moment! =) 5 stars <3

This is poem is so beautiful. It's like the words came to life. The image you expressed was clearly put into my head. Now that's talent. I really enjoy this.
