Messenger

Balloon floating high
His messenger in the sky
And what did he write
Before the Balloon took flight
Alas its flown out of sight

Congrats on your featured poem...a question, was it his message or your message. That would be so cool, kind of like a message in a bottle :)

I like the air of mystery in your tanka about the "messenger," Sharon. Sometimes no matter how hard we look, we never find the answers. Very intriguing tanka. Best wishes, Carolyn
