Forever Bubbles

Inspired by DIVYA and my three year old grandson

times change
technology increases her
strides forward into new
territories new ways
children have complex toys
often hitting the pocket
on the latest wish list
for little girls or boys

how refreshing to see
that some of the older joys
still exist in a past
favourite of mine
bubbles galore
lots of them in all sizes
floating in a room
chased by a child

short dark hair
brown eyed stare
wide with wonder
so much fun
running around
laughing out aloud
as fragile wobbles
touch the ground

excited
little breaths work best
blown through a
plastic white wand
now sing along
to that well known song
i’m forever blowing bubbles
pretty bubbles in the air

This was fun Chris. I have seen this with my own eyes recently where a couple of video game playing 9 and 10 year old boys went crazy once the bubbles starting floating. It was so nice to see that some things never change. Beautifully expressed my friend.

I used to love to play with bubbles. I also liked bicycles growing up, flying kites. It is amazing what toddlers pick on and like.
I'm bubbling with laughter reading this. A joy to read.

[Chris Shaw]

Aw thanks Sami. Pleased you liked bubbles too. I have never come across anyone who can’t smile at the thought of bubbles :) So simple and yet can give so much joy. I used to like kite flying too on a windy day.

dear Chris… even Lawrence Welk was forever blowing Champagne Bubbles… Your writing conveys the good ‘old days when young and old danced to Bubbles .. and goodbye to troubles. Love ❤️ across the Waves… Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you dear Pat. Bubbles make you smile. Fun for the young and old alike. I will have to look up Lawrence Welk. I have not heard of him. Sending love across the waves.

dear Chris. The Lawrence Welk Show was very Popular with lots of talented Singers and Musicians. The Cameras always showed tmany of the Couples dancing on the Large Dance Floor level of the Audience. Lawrence Welk was the Conductor with his Wand and Champagne Bubbles fill-in the Screen at the beginning. From May of 1951 until April of 1982, the Show was on the Air. It was strictly Entertainment. Welk was Born in the German-speaking community of Strasburg, in North Dakota

My favorite part of bubbles first are the colored rainbows captured in the spheres. Our joy is temporary because they always burst; some last for seconds, while in metaphor, others last for years.

[Chris Shaw]

They do always burst but they give us beauty and joy before they do so. So much fun without hitting the pocket. Thank you Fabian for your review..
