Backyard Bubbles by Rebecca Kai Dotlich One bubble Shimmies From the wand To waltz around The backyard lawn. One fragile globe Of soapy skin – A glimmering of breath within a perfect pearl, I blow again ! One more bubble Squeezes through, One blushing bead of water – blue; And then Another Rinsed in pink (Shivering With pastel ink) Dances o a summer sigh, shimmering With shades of sky, S-l-o-w-l-y slides Right out of sight; Backyard bbbles Taking flight.
