Marilene Evans Poet Verse

Intuition

INTUITION 
 
                                      Watching television
                                           before going
                         to Hot Air Balloon Fiesta destination,
                               saw a hot air balloon falling.
                                            Told myself
                                      “accident happens”.
                                         Started packing.

                                             Flew there
                                            safe, sound.
                             Saw another hot air balloon fell
              before touring downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico.
                                           Had intuition
                                      cancelling reserved
                                            balloon ride,

                                         booking another
                                               with gift
               shop’s agent.  Ignored intuition, kept reservation.
                             Our balloon falling from the sky
                                          hitting ground,
                                       dragged sideways.
                                     Survived unharmed.

Joseph May January 19, 2021 at 5:46 AM Very nicely penned Marilene, Congrats on your win.. Marilene Evans January 19, 2021 at 8:10 PM Thank you, Joseph. That was so scary. We thought that was our end, screaming our lungs out. We got out and told my daughters, to sit on the basket to take pictures of them and they were complaining. I started laughing telling them to do what I say cause it was not our time. Celebrate a miracle.

Rico Leffanta January 4, 2021 at 11:15 AM Not surprising, as too cold up there! So did you call it a day, or take the next one up? Aloha! Rico Marilene Evans January 4, 2021 at 11:37 AM Yes, called it a day. They cannot get us up there with another hot air balloon, so they gave us 50% back, when we were only up there for 10 minutes. That was really scary, falling down so fast and dragged sideways holding on. Thanked God, it stopped cause the balloon got caught on cacti and we got out.
