Hot Air Balloon Hop

Poem #305 • Softly escaping tall grass into misty sky

As hot air balloons travel upwards
expanding ever further into Heaven
softly escaping tall grass into misty sky
creating a patchwork wall of colorful mass

Seizing the opportunity to jump the torch
three friends with impressive hops
spring closer to the sun
excited to take on this morning’s flying run

Rising higher and higher into the great beyond
who new such great leaps could be made with heat and taut fabric
and a sense for silly adventure and zany fun
