September 3 Prompt

Bobbing for Birthdays


I sway and bob as energy swirls around me.
My face shines,
It’s colours shimmer and dance;
Bright with words
Hailing all to have a Happy Birthday.
Ready for the party,
Fifteen of us are bound together.
Ribbons of satin hang from each of us.
We are linked at a solid bobble
That is wrapped
In silvered birthday regalia.
Anticipation ripples
We bounce with delight
Ready to sing out
A cheer of welcome for all.
