The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

World in a Champagne Glass
by Faith Dincolo
Bubbles rising to the surface
Like sperm on the egg
As they bubble on, bubble on
Cyclone in a glass
.
A miniature ocean
On the surface
Fleeting moments
Like the tide
.
There’s a sea in my glass
An ocean on the surface
And with every sip
The ocean doesn’t last
.
Bubble on, bubble on
Nothing lasts forever
Not the sperm, not the glass
Not the oceans.

A cool poem.
Intriguing and strangely disturbing – every reader will be stirred (or bubbled) in different ways – clever.
