Another Metaphor of Life MAG
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.

I immediately loved the way you kept the style simplistic in the intro, it fit perfectly with the theme. But my favorite part was the end starting with "it’s the little ones/that leave quietly" for some reason this part was very poignant. I also thought how you made a break in the flow of the poem for he last stanzas ("everyone...all evaporated") was a wonderful idea, especially as I always have trouble with doing that myself.
Just for a little critic, the one line that seemed off was "or the biggest ones pop!" I would put a different description instead of pop here, it was hard to read. Good Job!
You are right :)
We are more important that a bubble
