Bountiful Bubbles
by JLR
Great free verse about bubbles. Great alliteration and word choices. I think it flows well. I remember playing with bubbles when I was a kid. Well done.

Thanks a ton!🙏
Comment from Susan Larson
Oh how I love this. It made me bubble over with delight to follow your picturesque poetry and envision it. And those were the days blowing bubbles out of soapy wands. My grandsons "blow" bubbles out of Bible guns that look like uzis. Wish I still had a six

Susan, smiling back with a gleeful smile, thanks you!🙏
Comment from Bonnie Seach
The theme and presentation are attractive. Looking at it from a reader's point of view however, I wish the spacing was more generous. I think of flowers dumped into a vase, clumped together with no clear division to identify each one, compared with a vase of flowers beautifully arranged to render them distinctive and orderly.
A writer must always coax the reader. Best wishes

This is a beautiful posting expressing the joy of bubbles. The imagery is wonderful and you are giving the reader a lot to ponder upon regarding many of nature's bubbly presentations and how they elicit positive emotions. :-)

Comment from Pantygynt
This I remember, Jim, is your favourite genre, and you show us just why in this masterful treatment of the water-cycle. I would have valued this poem when I was teaching Geography as well as English.
Just a few suggestions to take or leave:
'as they twist and swirl catching themselves flowing within
the boundaries of the ever-flowing mountain stream.'
I think that two 'flowings' is one flowing too many. Would the first one changed to 'falling' be more appropriate.
along my line of (site) => I think you meant sight.
Would it feel more rhythmical written 'simply to release'?
Just in case you are interested, my autumn class will be 'Poetic Devices in Free Verse'. It will be opened up probably next month. I would love to have you aboard again.

Jim, I sure to appreciate review and morsels fed to med to polish, polish and polish my work more. :) I regret that, while I can drop in from time to time and submit my favorite genre, I am still engaged in this consulting jig, when I will terminate next March 1st.
Until then HAPPY BIRTHDAY ... a bit early friend!

Many thanks of the day. Once again you will be missed. I hope it is earning you lots of money.

Aha! The king of Free Verse! Yes, you do a superb job of imagery in these free-floating poems. You are very good at pulling a subject out of thin
air and translating it into the moment.
As a child, I was mesmerized by the blown bubbles.
