Soap Bubbles

Soap bubbles

Iridescent

Rainbowed

Mockery of gravity

Fragile

Time short

Untouched

Blown into existence

Shimmering

Orbs

Thin spheres stretched

Adrift to whim

Delicate dance

Fleeting tempo

Measured in moments

Forever formed

Till they burst

Their laughter

Into the world

Dying as quickly

As they lived

Releasing the breath

Of their birth

    Love each and every word of this fun write. Not a word out of place. You know exactly what word fits in where giving the reader a sense of delight and visual clarity.

    We see the same things but you sure describe them better.
