Balloons rise up into the sky,
then whoosh, they're gone without a pop.
So much like life: you laugh, you cry.
Balloons rise up into the sky-
bright orbs reflecting heaven's sigh-
then dip and dive and belly-flop.
Balloons rise up into the sky-
Then Whoosh! They're gone! Without a pop.

Howdy, Pilgrim! We kept the home fires burnin' for ya!

Wonderful triolet! It had me dipping and diving, falling and flying all over the place--and then whoosh, I was gone!

Marge, I have a little free time and thought I'd run over to see how everyone is. It's good to be around a bit.

Margherita, Thanks so much!

I mostly do the belly-flop part of it!

Nicely done, oh fervid Pilgrim...count on you for maximum depth, and count on you to foreground it with the brightest imagery.....

...psst....don't be disappearing without a pop...not for a long, long time....

Ratleader-that's one of the nicest compliments I ever received. Thank you.

littlewing-I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. Triolets can be fun to write. Heck, I have fun writing all the forms. (except villanelles, they give me headaches)
