Ciao poet, you have two votes now!

Being in boarding school did not give me much chance to enjoy bubble gum.

During the holidays though , I got my share

I loved putting money in the machine and then turning the knob , like the one in your pic.

My favourite bubble gum was pink that tasted like strawberries. I tried to make really loud bursts. .

I read that chewing gum is good cause it boosts blood flow to your brain, which may help improve your memory.

Like all things though , too much gum can cause problems( decay, sore mouth ect)

Keep safe!

Thanks for your review and vote. The latter earned me some lira for my contest entry (-;

Congratulations on your win!

I miss the lira and hope to see it return.

The EU has failed and people like Ursula von der Leyen and Draghi are just doing America s biddings.

What do you think of Biden s $ 40 BILLION dollars aide package to Ukraine?

The biggest lie to justify sending arms to Ukraine was that Putin wanted to take Europe after.

He only wanted Ukraine to stay neutral but that didn?t suit America.

And now America wants the war to go on for years so it can weaken Russia . He is using Ukraine for his own agenda.

And EU leaders with their sanctions and sending arms to Ukraine have crippled our economy and jeopardise our safety now.

Now Putin is pissed off with Europe and considers us the enemy.

Biden doesn?t care about the people living in Ukraine, they are collateral damage in his tug of war with Russia.

America in the meantime is evermore divided.

This is a colorful 5-7-5 poem. The syllable count is on point. I like the font centered on the visual. It is prominent, large and colorful. This is a very vibrant poem. I love it! Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your enthusiasm for my contest entry. You too may recall those bubbles bursting and covering our mouths with gooey pink bubblegum (-;

This is a fun and cute piece! I love the use of "bursts." Syllabic focused poems are difficult for me to create as I struggle without feeling limited, so I admire your ability to create one successfully. Great work and good luck!
