Best Hot Air Balloon Poems

Hot air balloons were escaping from the house
Coming from every slither and slat like a mouse
They rose from the doorway into the wind
Colors of turquoise, orange, yellow, all ascend

Where had they been? Where had they been?
Some came from the windows, others from a crack.
They floated...

While I commune with the wind
  Drifting with my dreams

Like a hot air balloon lying on the ground
So it was with my soul before the Lord I found
Woven and stitched in such a finely knitted lace
And all throughout this balloon you could see God's Face

But with such a heavenly cloud speckled blue sky
It just...

She floated on her merry way
And left the crowds in pale dismay
A string of streamers flew astray
As the balloon swept to the clouds

The people down below were sold
Their tickets, bright and blooming gold
To take a flight, so they were told
Upon Her Majesty’s Suite.

Who knew the...

Up, up--high we glide,

warm winds through misty cloud seas--

wandering, serene.

Yeyy you come
I thought you’d never come
What a foolish one 
You are
Act like a knucklehead
Full of balloons
Hot air and helium
Can’t see where it is flying
The wind carries you anywhere it chooses?
You need to be anchored up!...

Always flying high.
To reach wondrous heights unknown.
Reindeer deflector.

hot air balloon lifts
off the ground, there goes
great debate below
seeming solid ground
a noxious odor

but way up here
the air is clear
the birds fly by
and so do i

ballooning
is such fun
join me, you

dream big
seize day

Have pondered..
Moments of introspection..
Along..
Figments of imaginations..
Scenic views of beauty and grandeur..
Breathtaking landscapes ..
Luscious greenery and massive trees..
Up and away ..
High above the deep blue sky...

Time had simply vanished..
Everything is in the moment
Of the present..
Only the precise moment exits..
Calm winds and rays of sunshine..

High above the...

The frost has touched the Holly leaves
It waits patiently to be released by the sun
Once again into the atmosphere 
Then be changed again next year

The winter early sun cast long shadows
Falling down the hill, valley, and up part way the other hill
The cold air soon...

The fish were excited to see the hot air balloon cat.
They agreed to come along, one brought his blue hat.
Once attached to the bottom of the basket they flew
Through the air to Michigan, maybe Kalamazoo.

This is great! The fish agreed with each other.
Until the cat...

With summer nearly gone, we all wanted to do something special,
And decided it should be daring, rather than the usual and dull.

So, we listed the things we desired to do, but hadn't yet tried,
And we finally settled upon, a thrilling hot air balloon ride!

We thought...

Come fly with me in my hot-air balloon.
We'll skim over mountain tops very high.
see golden sun replaced by silver moon
as stars weave tapestry in ebon sky.

With freedom we'll fly like birds in the air,
in and out of clouds, dodging sudden storm.
watch lightning's fingers spread everywhere,
see...

Once when I was traveling across azure sky,
I was startled to see a lone giraffe going by,
It roamed with grace, head up in the clouds,
As if born to be remote, from earthy crowds.

In my hot air balloon, I got a bird's eye view,
The giraffe looked...
