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.

Hey, author here. ^^ See, my point is that nothing is actually "forever" in the literal sense; considering the universe is billions of years old, someday each human being's "mark" (though it may have lasted for thousands of years) will disappear. Still, I do agree that we can leave a mark for a considerable time on humanity.

Beautful!
I loved it!
I liked the beginning best
"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"
it has the climax in the metaphor that
brings you in to really think about it!

I like the poem very much. but i hate to think, that when i die, eventually i will be forgotten. I do not believe that to be entirely true. I think we all of the chance to have our memory live on forever. It depends on what we spend our lives doing.

The poem was definitly amazing because you can grab an element so young and transform it into the way that we should think about life. Keep it up girl!
