Bubblegum Man

Your words;

So sweet,

Keeping me in a haze

Of utter bliss.

 

Your smile;

So enthralling,

And I wish

That I could see it again.

 

You say my name;

So sweet

Like my own

Lullaby.

 

You told me that

You know

Over a hundred days ago

And made my heart smile.

 

You’re making me

Want to laugh,

Wrapped up in your perfect

Bubblegum world.

Author's Note

First off, this poem is NOT written for whoever you think it is. Trust me, it's a completely different person.

With that out of the way, this poem is meant to basically be a sweet poem, as I hope is obvious. Interpretations would be appreciated, especially what you think "bubblegum" represents. I hope you like this!

This was a very sweet poem, but having said that, it seems to flow into the saccharine. Which is funny, I think, because the type of bubblegum you mention reminds me of that overwhelmingly synthetic "bubblegum" flavor. Maybe it is a sweet and innocent poem, but for me the entire thing (the word choice, the imagery) invokes a sense of being smothered, initially good but to the point of being cloying... the words "haze," "enthralling," and "lullaby" make it seem like the narrator is operating on a plane of fragile illusion, "wrapped up in your perfect bubblegum world."

[Matthew Young]

this was a very pleasant read. as some others have mentioned, I tend to feel that "Bubblegum" represents innocence, perhaps the naivety of a new relationship.

[Journey]

My first thoughts were sweet and innocent and as I stroll the reviews I see that thought repeated. Bubblegum for me represents fun times...fairgrounds and summer skies. :-)

This poem seems to represent innocence and by saying "bubblegum" you are referring to childhood memories with this person. This may be a poem about a very young girl with a crush.

[David Lee]

This is a really innocent sort of confession and I really like it.
Its simple, honest and really sweet.
I'm not so sure of what "bubblegum" symbolizes in this poem, but I really like the title. It caught my attention, somehow.
Great work.
