Monday WRites 44




BUBBLES
I watch her fly her bubbles in the backyard

Light and its lightness captured in spaces diaphanous

I drew a picture once, on a postcard

And held a thousand memories in a rosebud sensuous

She, is my grandchild, child of my son

He of my husband, this son of mine, one

So she lets fly her bubbles, this child of my heart

While i hold on to my memories, and we both revel in delight

  1. There are such sweet parallels here, and keeping hold of memories is very like keeping hold of these light diaphanous bubbles, there and fleeting and back again too. Very sweet poem, Gillena. k.

  2. I like the way each line unravels the story of family.

  3. Nice word pictures, Gillena. Good "been there" reading for all us grandparents. We have six and two greats.
    Wondering (I do 'wonder about more than just tall girls) if you read some E. E. Cummings before you wrote this. I did fir mine.
