The Bubble
Robert Frost 1874 (San Francisco) – 1963 (Boston)
I blew myself a bubble that was bigger than myself
and I floated off inside it to the top most shelf
And there i saw before me with my own two eyes,
Half a hundred jam pots and four dead flies.
I blew myself a bubble that was bigger than Pa Pah .
He floated off inside it to a place afar.
unfortunately age has got the better of me and this is as much as I can remember now but I'm sure more will come back to me when I sleep.
About this poem
This poem was one of the first ones I performed as a nervous seven year old but it is still one of my favourites.
