Gray idea and story and contest entry. This is a great format! 7-9-7 was using everything you needed to tell the story. I will have to try sometime. Cheers, Fonda

What a fun experience you've described here. This activity just might be on my proverbial bucket list. I also saw an interest fb post of apples which rot with ice covering them . They look just like a bubble. Check that out. It's even more if not equally fascinating. You draw the reader in to feel the same way as I have shared. Well chosen and written. I am voting for this one.

What a creative treat for adults and children to do in the cold. I always loved blowing bubbles. The use of concrete details help make the experience come clear to readers. I enjoyed reading it.

Your well-written, concise poem describes a fun activity to entertain young
ones on a very cold day--kind of a combination entertainment and experiment.

I've never tried to blow a bubble in the cold. This is interesting, very interesting. I think that I want to try this out. I have some grandchildren that would probably love this. Thanks for sharing this cute and well written poem. Well done!

Oh wow! This sounds fun! I never thought of doing this in the winter. I'm going to have to try it with my son. He's 11 now, but I think we've still got some bubble stuff around from when he was little. This is a clever entry for the contest. Perfect syllable count and you've created fun imagery with your words. Great job! Good luck in the contest! :)

Looks like great fun! And no, you wouldn't have to be four...I know someone waaayyy lots older who would love to see that. On t.v. I saw people throwing pans of boiling water off balconies and it froze immediately. Nature is a wonder and when you are homebound by weather, what better to do!

A cute poem that is made even better by your author's notes telling readers about your day. How kind to give Missy a break for a while. I live in Hawaii and this will be an experience I probably won't have in this life. But it sure sounds delightful. Your poem meets the requirements for a 7-9-7 and you should do well in the contest.

What an exciting time the little girl must have had getting to not only go outside, but to be able to blow bubbles in the winter when it is cold. Even better to have the bubbles freeze and shatter. Good picture. Good poem. Good job.
