THE BALLOON
A little
Balloon
Escaped my
Grasp...
It floated
High and it
Floated fast!
Wait!
I called
Out with
All my
Heart
Wait, dont go
For you
Might
Get lost...
Lost?
Retorted
It
What, among
The clouds
And gentle
Wind?
Ha!
You worry
For nothing!
Now this
Balloon,
Was unique
One in
A million...
It had the
Beauty
Of a bird
And qualities
Of that
A girl...
Young antd
Silly
Yet somehow
Smart and wise.
Come back
Down
I called
You are getting
Too far
Very fast!
I'll come
Back
Before you
Know it
The Balloon
Me assured...
By now a
Speck
In the sky...
I squinted
Upwardx
Worried
And rightly
So
For just then
As
It did a twirl
The Balloon
Caught in
A tree branch
And burst
To pieces!
Pretty Balloon
Fell in
Tatters
To earth
In a swoon!
