I am a bubble,
floating and gloating,
in the gracious, fastidious air,
without a care!
When I pop, I pop,
there’s nothing to stop it.
I smile at the sun,
smirking fun.
I know I’m short-lived and simple,
opposite of many a stubborn pimple.
I was brought into existence by a child,
under umbrella, utterly unbeguiled.
Now, running free and fast,
until I hit a windy, wicked, beautiful blast!

You turned a simple bubble into a whole moment, and I’m here for it! Loved your imagery 🙃
What perfect fun and delight
It's blasted.
Delightful! ‘ I smile at the sun, smirking fun.’ We used large star shaped wands & thick bubble mixture… they floated 80 m down wind from our upstairs verandah… wonderful!
Oh bubbles - with little or big paddles or small blowers. Fun to do but not when they pop on you!
