Sky Balloons Purple Parade Part 1 of 2

Tetris colors shine between the blocks of life Building blocks of rainbows interlocking light Odd shapes connect to speedy geometric streets On candy corners where stop signs sit in red and white Hang out where parades really matter to the kids Turned inside out and backwards in these matters Sounds of churned machinery fade fast away People turn out with pop corn freshly popped Melt away their problems by looking up Melted butter and caramel taffy stop the traffic Pins and needles are not needed for balloons today Twisted in the sidewalk cracks is last years bubble gum There is no time for that as children scream and whistle Cotton clouds drift by, hung from above the playing fields All dressed up in white and love

This is a gorgeous poem to follow on the heels of the one with the same sort of name.

Good Morning Caren. Thank you so much. I am not a premium member here so I could not publish this long poem properly. I posted the complete poem with proper stanza formatting on "WritersCafe" if you are interested. I appreciate your commenting. Earl
