balloon!!!

sometimes
i laugh
as i float off
into the pink sky
weightless
forever rising
always removed
from mother earth
by several degrees
my head full
of helium
i drift
the sun
bouncing off
my bright
red color
moving to
and fro
aimless
no real
direction
trying to flutter
but i have
no wings
so i just
enjoy the ride
in the open air
free
from anything
gravity
can't touch me
on my quest
to wherever
i'm not sure
where i'll end
but it's okay
i trust the air
and the many
comforts
of the big
and puffy sky.

Mark,

Your poetry is so light, I almost fly when I read it. The kid in you knows how to have fun, and it translates in your poetry. You are a delight to read...ain't that cool?

Up, up, and away,

Kathy

yeah...that is cool...

thanks for the kind words!
take care,
