Bubbles

Luv my wee bubbles...

I don't know who ran it

- never heard 

the water punch 

the air 

in my ears  

- I imagine mystic 

taps vommed

a 

stuttering helix

I can't recall how 

I got naked but

The coldness 

enveloped me 

I was laid vertical

Now ~

Bubbles pop

and fizzle;

air rushes in 

to fill the void

(nature abhors a vacuum) 

- cooling the surface 

I am slowly submerging

into this 

warm bath of 

introspection 

cleaning...

purging...

degloving

Author's Note

"I can't recall how

This could have double meanings or so I have interpreted it to be as such 😉
I think there are layers to be deciphered in this writing of yours Tony! All is not what it seems 😉
Interesting read ☺

[Tony Jordan]

I love that our writings can be taken so many different ways. The reader brings their own glasses and they are many different hues and this makes the writing fresh to each pair of eyes.
Thank you YumnaKay - but you don't have to understand everything I write.
;p

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I try hard not to 😛 and succeed often enough lol
You're welcome, TJ! ☺

[Tony Jordan]

You see right through 'em you mean lol.
They're as opaque as 40 denier stockings - haha
:DD

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah no! To be honest, most of your writings bounce back off me lol
Not because they aren't good but because I'm too thick-skulled haha 😂😂😂

[Tony Jordan]

Your armour is too well constructed that's why they bounce off you. One day a prince will come with the words that will work their way under that beautiful armour and straight into your heart Dr.
:)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahaha I keep my heart well-secured 😉
In the unlikely event that it does happen, I'll let you know 😂😂

[Tony Jordan]

You blooming well better ! lol
I have a suit that's not seen the light of day longer than you've been on this planet and it's needing an airing - so send the wedding invite via WC

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahahah! For your suit's sake then 😂 I'll certainly do that 😛

[Tony Jordan]

Yes please do - the moths could do with a day out too

[SM Davis]

LOL...your layout is fine. The nice thing about poetic license it can be anything you want it to be. This is lovely...LOL...and eloquently misleading. Nicely done. 100 daisies for you.

[Tony Jordan]

Hey...my first Valetine's bouquet !! Thank you SM.
Come on girls - bring your tributes - there's ony one of me to go around !!

;P
just kidding ...
Thank you very much for your complimentary comments my friend.

[SM Davis]

You're welcome. I only give them when I immensely enjoy.

[andrew mitchell]

nice to read some good writing, just checked out an influx of new writers that have written in invisible ink!!

[Tony Jordan]

Lmao @ 'invisible ink' - yes it seems to be white on white is the new black !! xD
Thanks for your compliment A.M.
You are appreciated.

[Ken Simm.]

I think what you are talking about is/are the introverted thoughts one has given visual sense. I can see someone swimming or rather floating in a tank of bubbles rather like an escapologist fighting to get out of Houdini's water trap. The thoughts being the bubbles. I could be way out but this is one of the ways I read it.
Of course it could be how to poach an egg from the eggs point of view.

[Tony Jordan]

Ken - you're class !
I love this review.
It takes me back to detention (received for not having PE kit) where I was asked to write a couple of hundred lines on the inside of a table-tennis ball!
Thank you for reviewing this one my friend.

[Ken Simm.]

I used the inside of a table tennis ball in some of my lassons as well. How you can only see space because of shapes that interupt it.

[Tony Jordan]

- I think my first sentence dealt with the air in the ball then I went off on the wildest tangent - like Eddie Izzard - I was always a top waffler lol.

[Ken Simm.]

Top Waffler Lol. Sounds like a character from either Woodhouse or Hardy. Except I hate Txt Spk.

[Pete]

a cool, calming write. relaxing. at first, thought it was flatulence, but turned out to be just a bath. although passing gas to make bubbles & deep thinking do have many similarities. nice jacuzzi jargon where lots of deep thinking indeed takes place. great to unwind. :)

[Tony Jordan]

It could be classed as word-flatulence. My God that made me think of blazing saddles camp fire scene - what if their derrieres had all expunged words instead of farts !!
Thank you Pete.

[Pete]

Lol ur very welcome. always a pleasure (i think) ... best regards! :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Tony, surely this is not about an egg being poached? "I was laid vertical" that line is so intriguing. That coupled with the nakedness...well, perhaps a bit sensual? Truly, you have me stumped. Sorry. Lydi**

[Tony Jordan]

I think I tried too hard to be cryptic here Lydia - it's about a wave of self-reflection that came over me in a sudden onset of low mood. I became quite morose. I felt naked in the metaphorical sense because it happened outdoors and it knocked me for six (laid vertical). I usually schedule my introspection for bedtime lol.
Don't be a bit sorry. My fault - I tried to pen calligraphy with a 9inch roller !!
Thank you Lydia - always, my friend.
:)

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiling here...that is a great line....calligraphy with a 9 inch roller! Thanks for explaining, Tony.

[Jimmy Yetts]

Have no idea what this is really about.
However, if I "got naked" and "was laid vertical," I would probably have to consider it a good time. So, even though the bubbles are likely metaphorical, we'll make them champagne effervescence--just to add a little class to this "review."
Your "introspection" is properly obscure, Tony, and quite poetic.

[Tony Jordan]

I wish it were a good time Jimmy. I love how you zusshed the review up with some champers. Love that !!
I can't really do introspection without getting all low so I tend to leave it til bedtime when no one will notice my tears but this 'wave' came over me like...hey I guess it could be the start of the manopause?
Thank you Jimmy
:)

Hello Tony,

I really enjoyed this delightful offering...

Lots of emotionally packed visuals, especially if you place yourself there.

Alisa

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you Alisa. It was a powerful feeling. I don't think i conveyed the meaning half as well as I meant to.
Thank you very much for all your visits Alisa - always appreciated.
:)

[Alisa Js]

It is my pleasure to read your work. Looking forward to more...

Alisa ;)
