An+Ode+to+a+Bubble+Reflection

When writing this ode, I tried to show the identity of the bubble. I wanted to really paint a picture of what the bubble looked like, and how it moved, and acted. I tried to do this by putting in a couple of metaphors and similes and also putting words that perfectly described what I was trying to say. In the beginning, all I was trying to do was to work with the language, and form and style of the poem to describe a certain object. But as I kept working on the piece, I felt that the poem itself was a metaphor. It was a metaphor of the perspectives people have. One person could see a bubble and see it as a fascinating floating marble, and another person could just see it as, what else, but a bubble. Both of them are seeing the same thing, but they have very different views of it.

I think this poem definitely shows voice. I tried to do this by speaking to the bubble as if it were alive, and personifying it. I think the ending also added some personality to the poem, because it was so unexpected and so different from the rest of the piece. I also think this poem shows meaning and depth, because it is not only describing the bubble, but it is also describing perspectives. In that way its also kind of a double meaning.
