A balloon stares wistfully at the clouds, envies them for having travelled places and accumulating rich experiences It is only til he manages to break free from his slightly overprotective wailing owner that he realizes that perhaps wonderlust can be best fulfilled within oneself without having to travel That he may well attain the purest intensity of joy in the arms of his owner [This message has been edited by faterider (edited 05-07-2001).] |

The poetry was going good. I was thinking more along the lines that the ballon now set free would realize that it cannot travel places for it is limited. The reason the ballon is limited because it was created by human mind, not by nature. So thats my two cents for tonight. I hope you get some meaning out of what I have said.

thanx Denise for the reassurance  Xeonox, i think i understand about the balloon not being to travel far because it has limitations...however, i don't understand what do you mean about the limitations arising from humans and not nature...perhaps humans are not as invincible as they think they are and nature surprises us always with its mighty strength... am i interpreting your comments correctly? do enlighten moi are there any changes i should make to this verse? am ready to do some editing, if need be |

It is a very nice poem no matter what your intent. I read it that so many of us long to be where we would not want to be if we knew the full results if we realized our ambition. Joyce |

good poem. a subliminal comparison? indeed, it does have some relativity with life and all it's emulations. thanks for sharing. |

In this wonderful poem, the clear message for me is that true freedom must come from within! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
