Boldly bursting,
I am bubb-
led by your
presence being.
You, my rain-
bowed specter
guardian, jailer,
sweet protector.
I’m daisied lolling,
crazy windblown
sailing mindblown
done for, trapped inside
your
soapy bubble.
Doubly happy sappy, being
owned and shackled
danced in-
sane, lulled bewitched
by you.
The bubbles by Erte
Time for the third quadrille where De wants us to bubble with 44 word poetry at dVerse. Come join us having fun.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
I freakin’ LOVE this. So much fun to read aloud.
THIS:
“I’m daisied lolling,
crazy windblown
sailing”
There’s so much passion in these words. And you snuck “lulled” in there, too. 😉
And of course, you know I love that hyphen. And the one in “rain-bowed,” which brings to mind a bowing to the rain. Wonderful.
I like the word daisied … 🙂 not in all dictionaries…
Any noun as verb delights me, really.
Or adjective, for that matter. The invention of words pleases me.
I know you might have missed it… but you should try kennings… we had it as a prompt a while ago… another way of using hyphens… http://dversepoets.com/2014/03/20/kennings-the-metaphor-of-skalds/
AWESOMENESS. I know what I’m doin’ for the next open link.
It’s especially good considering that you’re restricted to a specific number of words
Please come and join us… this is a lot of fun…
Yes, Larry. Join us, do. Q44 is not a cult. 😉 But it IS addicting.
What a brilliantly bubbly poem!
Thank you… I did enjoy writing it…
The internal rhyme in this absolutely ROCKS! I’m with De…I absolutely LOVE this!
Ha thank you.. I had fun writing it…
Delightful Bjorn, loved the images, I particularly liked your use of ‘daisied’.
I love turning nouns to verbs… 🙂
Worked very well..
This poem actually SOUNDS like a bubble bobbing along in the breeze. Terrific!
Ah… I should add a reading… Would be fun.
Yes!
So much love for this. All of it. But at the end, I really like how you indented because it’s visually interesting, but also because it emphasizes that “dancing-in(side)” makes us “sane.”
Ha.. yes I really tried to hide a few keys inside here.
Daisied lolling crazied windblown is a marvellous concept. And I love the picture.
I would love to be daisied too 🙂
I think you’re into lolling, lulling and I’m loving the outcome. A bubble prison of sorts.
I think we all seek that kind of bubbly bewitchment…
I love the positive spin, if that makes the person happy & bubbly bewitched, then I am bubbled sappy too 🙂 Love this part:
I’m daisied lolling,
crazy windblown
sailing mindblown
There are something so joyful in bubbles… so i had to make it this way
A bit of romance here, Bjorn! This kind of bewitching is rather pleasant indeed.
I think it’s a cage of comfort…
Love is such a wondrous daisied experience, bubble wrapped up in love, thanks
A place I love…
What a very cool poem…beginning with that title, and loved the “I’m daised lolling, crazy windblown sailing mindblown done for…”
I think passion is a lot like that.
You won’t believe that amount of giggling I’ve done (or the kind of interesting faces I’ve made) while reading this. I hope you choose to read this one in the future. I would just love to hear you saying,
“bubb-
led”.
😀
I definitely prefer bubb-led to bub-bled
😀
Absolutely magical and captivating…..bewitching, actually 😉
🙂 yes I would like to be bewitched like this.
Here’s to being daisied! Drink up.
I come with dandelion wine
Oh, do tell!
Intoxicating!
Toxic in a good way
hmmmm…you danced, lulled & bubbled in one single piece…a delightful read 🙂
Ha… yes I used all three words… somehow I felt them connecting up nicely.
How very powerful a person to bewitch and shackle one into submission.
Hank.
It requires a velvet chain.
I feel the bubble here is a safe heaven!
A place of comfort and joy.
Your poem makes me feel double happy sappy! Great piece for the pic you’ve chosen. Loved especially reading it aloud!
I had a lot fun writing it… 🙂
I can tell! 🙂
Björn , This a delightful fun read, i so luv that image you teamed it up with
Have a nice Tuesday
much love…
Very cute. K.
This dances like thousands of windblown bubbles! The sounds and lightness of this poem floats through nicely, Björn!
Beautiful, light, whimsical. I especially like they way you have hyphenated certain words for added emphasis.
I’m liking this, Bjorn. It brings thoughts of love, being in love. Then narrowed by the bubble; drifting at the whims of the currents, fragile enclosure subject to jabs and abrasion.
I started out reading with doubts as soon as I came to “guardian, jailer.” Captive love isn’t much love except for provider love. But then reading on I decided it was a self-giving love.
Like De, I too was affected by words, adjectives, not in the dictionary, at least the quick reference provided by touch in iPad. “Lolling” fit nicely here, it’s definition was mine also. The ones unfamiliar to me begged for my imagination which is still groggy this morning.
Thank you, it put love in a new ‘drift’ for me.
..
All the words seem to bubble up and down, bumping into each other, and having a wonderful time together!
When I saw “lulled”….I knew it!! A sneaky move hiding all the quadrille prompt words. I think the last 2 stanzas feel like bubbles expanding, building up…..then a nice little pop at the end of them.
This made me feel all bubbly inside…:)
Lovely word play. Very clever extra meanings with the hyphenated word breaks!
“You, my rain-
bowed specter
guardian, jailer,
sweet protector”
Such a dichotomy of images here: the specter and jailer being somewhat threatening in nature; the guardian and sweet protector being caretakers. What follows, however, reveals that being trapped, owned and shackled are not portrayed as abusive conditions, and one is left to enjoy the pleasure of a feel-good infatuation.
Stockholm syndrome? 🙂
🙂 indeed it could be.
You popped my bubble of delightment with this one Bjorn!
Masterful job on the repetition of vowel sounds (assonance, I believe) to create an awesome internal rhyme. boldly, rainbowed, protector, windblown, mindblown, soapy, owned – and that’s just for openers!!!
