Bob Quigley Poet Free verse

Balloons

Seducing with their siren song
Those who with skyward gaze
Watch with childish fascination
The dance unveiled above

Bright globes of color
Greet the cloudless day
Sharing a quiet moment
Basking in the beauty
Of a clear blue sky

Skipping through the gentle air
Rejoicing in the freedom
Of tethers released
Heavenly aspirations pursued
Happiness is a balloon
