Hot Air Balloons

The majesty of hot air balloons Surpasses the soaring clouds above Gliding through the air with ease Like gentle hugs they succumb Colours unmatched in their scope East to west the sky is filled With a spectacular medley of music And moments of amazing spirit

It's amazing how we can travel through our words. Yours took me on a hot balloon ride. Beautiful imagery in this free verse. I am so impressed! Always, Laura

you've captured the beautiful essence of hot air balloons. They fascinate me. Whenever I see one (usually early mornings while I'm walking), the captivate me...I wonder what gliding through the air in one would be like...then again, I have a fear of flights...still they're so colorful and graceful looking against the blue skies. Loved your words, Jack. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Guess I'll never know the euphoric feeling at my advanced age... sad! In my younger years had the opportunity arose I would have been there! Love Jack xxx
