Baby Balloon

Baby balloon was tired of her attachments So she let go of her string and started floating down the street Bouncing every once in a while, blown here and there by the wind Baby balloon was too small to float away like some of her family had already done As they escaped the tethers, only to fly too far and blow up As the air expanded them toward the sun Baby balloon didn't have as much air So she bounced gently against the road until she came against a fence The fence didn't pose any threat as she bounced sneakily Underneath the steel prongs that lined its underside Baby balloon was flexible, with just enough air to bounce further along Down the hill across the waving grass that fluttered gently in the wind Losing sight of baby balloon I wondered where she went I wondered if she made it home.
