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.

That's awesome. I never really thought of life in that way. Although I don't agree with the whole idea of size. *I'm six feet and don't think I'm going to fail : )* But the idea is pretty cool.

That's so cool! Pretty accurate, too, though I never would have thought of bubbles. Keep up the good work!

That is a good question. Well, I suppose if your God, you can manage.

This is so beautiful! Something so childish and young can mean so much and be so deep to relate to life and death. Bravo! :D

This is truly amazing. I love how you could take a simple thing and give it a whole new meaning. Great job:)

Bubbles represant life excusitly. They are delicit like liives; changed drasticly but simply mistakes. There are many things that could happen to a bubble, but one thing is for sure; it will pop. It's how that bubble takes course that makes all the difference.

Great poem! I loved the pacing of the piece. The little "Pop!"s were cute and the way you spaced and paced (Ha I rhymed!) really kept me interested! Great poem!
