Bubble Gum

my fun, lighthearted attempt to describe the pastime of chewing bubble gum, as if the gum was marketing itself or flirting with us to enjoy its pleasures...Fun and original material -- inspired!

Squeeze me.

Hold me.

Long after my flavor losses its newness, chew me tight.

Chase me.

Find me.

Snap me as my iridescent bubbles blow up, reflecting light

Pop me

Chew me

Blow a big one and smack me against the curved roof of your mouth.

Pull me.

Mold me.

Bite down hard and  with the tip of your tongue, turn me south

Play me.

Enjoy me.

The sensuous pleasure of bubble gum -

 juicy, goodness, yum!

Many writers use many metaphors to show us the sensations of love and/or passion, but this might be the ONLY time I've ever seen this done with bubble gum! I love it when a writer shows such originality of thought . . . excellent idea & the message is well crafted. Playful & sensuous!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I chuckled a little at the title because it is such a relief to come across something lighthearted compared to the intense work I was reading. It is vital to stay in touch with your inner child no matter how old you are otherwise you become so miserable.

CONTENT&FORMAT

I will be the elephant in the room and agree with Coyote that it is an erotic poem about bubble gum. HAHA I adore it because I can relate to it. However, I am more of a lollipop fan because it never dries out. Do you not ever get tired when bubble gum dies on you? And then it is just tastes awful. But I digress. The format is playful with short phrases such as "play me." You use alliteration wonderfully to express a flirtatious scene. I get an image of a teenager who is experiencing puppy love by sharing her gum by making out. It was not really my forte in highschool but I can see it clearly.

I am sure there is a story behind this poem. It makes me smile. :D

CLOSING THOUGHTS

sincerely,
