Bricks and Bubbles
by Yvonne Blake I'm not speaking to you anymore! What kind of friend are younot calling me on my birthday? I'm going to build a wall. I don't even want to look at you. Slap, Thunk You probably were talking about me with your other friends. Slap, Thunk You can keep your stupid, ugly friends! Slap, Thunk Heywhat do think you're doing? That's a stupid looking wall. Well, mine is going to be bigger and taller than yours. Slap, Thunk What are you using anyway? Your wall looks shimmery and shiny. Those are dumb looking bricks. Do you want one of mine? They are hard and strong and with sharp corners. Whizzzzz Scrape Did that feel good? Well, that's how I felt. Why don't you say anything, instead of kneeling among those silly things and crying? Don't you care that I'm mad at you? Slap, Thunk Heyyours is leaning. Get away from my wall. Go away! Leave me alone! Whizzzzz Boing Heymy brick bounced off your wall, didn't even make a dent. I'll show you; I'm going to build mine to the sky, so I never have to talk to you ever again! Slap, Thunk, Slap, Thunk How'd you get above me? Is SomeOne helping you? Heyyour wall is tipping over on me! Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop Your bubbly bricks are popping on mine. They're dissolving my wall! What kind of powerful solution is in those bubbles? Hmmmmthis one has some words on it: I AM SORRY Hmph! What's this one say? SMILE, I LOVE YOU YOU ARE MY FRIEND REMEMBER WHEN WE MADE LICORICE JELLYBEAN COOKIES? I MISS YOU WILL YOU COME OVER FOR A GAME OF SCRABBLE? Sigh There's not much left of my wall. Yours has bent right over it and bridged the gap. I miss you, too. I'll be over soonon the new pathway between us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author, Yvonne Blake, I am a retired school teacher hoping to break into the world of writing.
