Notes About The Poem

A Missed Opportunity

A balloon that has floated up and away; out of sight
Out of mind. A popped balloon dropping to earth like a wet rag
In ruins; punctured by the beak of a bird in flight

Your poem is evocative of dreams that sadly burst and don't ever come true. Well done, Edward.
