Bubble Selfie
Title
Bubble Selfie
Description
Well dispersed
And seemingly unhurt, burst.
Observers, young and old,
Reflected back without honesty.
Altered universes multiply. Sold
In dollar bottles create comedy.
Dancing crystal orbs that catch the light;
Various colors glance off in all directions.
With their sporadic yet carefree flight,
The wind is to blame for their imperfections.
Life so short yet so loved; admired by passersby,
For the dancing light catchers, it’s attention they thirst!
Admired until they tire, and take a rest haphazardly;
And without notice, seemingly unhurt, burst.
And seemingly unhurt, burst.
Observers, young and old,
Reflected back without honesty.
Altered universes multiply. Sold
In dollar bottles create comedy.
Dancing crystal orbs that catch the light;
Various colors glance off in all directions.
With their sporadic yet carefree flight,
The wind is to blame for their imperfections.
Life so short yet so loved; admired by passersby,
For the dancing light catchers, it’s attention they thirst!
Admired until they tire, and take a rest haphazardly;
And without notice, seemingly unhurt, burst.
