Bubble Gum

A Smile! And now she’s gone again…

Self motivation, compliance with complication

I’m here, and I’m lost for words of hatred

Tipsy, forgive me

I’m a product of simplicity

With the seesaw for the short thought process

And a yee haw for my best

And a stressful thought for my mess

A chimichanga, I really wanna

Willy Wonka type of life

As a kid with the candy

And the town who can’t stand me

And a handy million would be just dandy…

Yep

That spells perfection to me

A jingle of my keys for the rice and tomatoes

With the steak and Green Valleys to take me home

Another hit for my headache

How long can I make

My attention drift, to faith and fireflies

And a dried up fireplace?

If we only point our tiny mind’s North

To the stars we dream of from afar

And so I believe, believe so much in distance

That in an instance I would end those dreams

That comply my insanity as humane

I’m losing my patience just thinking about it

Just thinking about my time I have lost

And smiling at my time I have yet to breathe

Another day rising with this sun

Along this highway…another wrapper of bubblegum.

I should have known by the title this was going to be something extra special .

Your use of metaphors is just dead-on, bulls-eye. Oh if only were that simple as tossing a flimsy piece of something away. The questions you ask of yourself, and the statements you reply to yourself in this write are so fitting for so many of us. This is another exceptional piece by you my friend!!

Very interesting piece... breakups can be devastating and make you want to go back to a time when life was bout deciding whether to ride your bike or play hide and seek... the worst part is that feeling like the time you spent was in vein. Now you are just thrown away and blowing round like a bubble gum wrapper out a window. A great metaphor.

hummmm, it's Saturday morning, holiday weekend, and my brain in green fried at the moment to my usual of analysis of your poetry is on hold for the moment, yet I did not want to miss one of your reads, as they are always so very interesting and challenging! So, I will comment on your topic of Bubblegum, and wrappers of life, and a girl who leaves, and wonderful imagery.....leaves me hungry and wanting candy, and steak, and all sorts of good things, but thrown out the window like the wrapper....smiles
Great write as usual - I shall have to come back and delve into your thinking here when I am thinking!
Sheila...the o' lazy one today!
