Purple red green yellow Colourful dots in sky so blue Just balloons free From the grasp of little hands Children's screams echo through the grounds Some cry for their losses Others weep for a chance To hold on to something so precious I think LOVE is like a balloon Colourful and exciting Yet there is always a fear It might burst and cause pain Holding on for so long You will feel tired soon Yet release the string and It will forever be gone Some hold on too tight but That is not the way The beauty lies in its freedom To sway in the wind There are others holding too long Doing all to hold it close Yet life will soon seep out All efforts go to waste Some get a chance to hold it Yet they know not how to treasure it Dangling it around their little finger The string soon loosens itself And there are those who Walk around the fair looking For just one balloon One balloon that is up for grabs A balloon for each person Love for all It does not seem too hard Just handle with care! _,,,^.^,,,_ |

How very lovely Mon Cherie. "The beauty lies in its freedom To sway in the wind" I think you touched upon some great truths here! You have my vote. Love, Margherita |

Thanks for the vote, Margherita.  Personally, I like this best coz it reflects me: "And there are those who Walk around the fair looking For just one balloon One balloon that is up for grabs" _,,,^.^,,,_ |

Balloons brighten up the world--and so does your lovely poem about them! In fact, I wrote a poem about balloons but I don't believe I ever posted it. Yours is absolutely delightful! Luvs & hugs, EA |

 (jumps in joy and delight) Yay! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to see you again, I have missed your beautiful words soooooooo much! (kiss on cheek) I know this feeling so well because I love balloons but every time a balloon popped it made me cry and it broke my heart because I'm very sensitive to things like that! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, may you always soar above the clouds in loves joy, yay, we all love you so much and you have my angelic vote! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Florence, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

QjQ: Thanks for reading! Earth Angel: Please share your balloon poem with us! I'd really like to read it.  Mistletoe Angel: Thanks Noah! For your continuous support, and your encouraging words. I haven't written and read in a long while coz of a busy time schedule. But glad to see that I'm still remembered here, and that there are still so much wonderful readable poems here. _,,,^.^,,,_ |

Heh.... Suddenly came up with this thought... Imagine a room filled with pink heart-shaped balloons (helium ones, of course) floating along the ceiling. The floor lined with red roses....... Now, isn't that a romantic Valentines' Day setting? _,,,^.^,,,_ |

Imagine a room filled with pink heart-shaped balloons (helium ones, of course) floating along the ceiling. The floor lined with red roses....... Now, isn't that a romantic Valentines' Day setting? no, actually it would blind me and freak me out...too much pink!  i remember this one and think that you have made a good choice...for the cool subject matter and for your insights and for the way how inspiration striked and how you grabbed hold of it (you wrote this while working in a job fair, didn't you?) |

Bill Charles: Thank you, Bill! Hope it lifted you as high as where balloons go to when they float off. kaile: Haha. Maybe you're right, can't get too romantic when one is blinded by the bright colours. Yup, I wrote this at a SingTel roadshow last year. This is a repost for the book Thought I'd give it a try.  _,,,^.^,,,_ |
