Mag 179

When all seems at a stop,
You take off aloft
Balloons and an old blue car
Can carry you afar
Across valleys and
Through canyon passages
But alas how do you end the trip?
Where are the brakes on this?
How do you come down
Once you have floated high above the ground?
Are you lost in the blue car carried away by the balloons?
At least you have escaped all the buffoons.
Who would latch on in attempt to throw you down
Bring you down, and sap you of who you are.
I just found this little thematic hop that lasts all week long. Each week award-winning poet, Tess Kincaid, posts an image for writers to use as prompt for an original story or poem. It sounds like fun so I decided to join. The image goes up each Sunday at http://magpietales.blogspot.com . Then you have all week to respond and link with your original creation. Hope you enjoyed.
Don’t worry about the brakes…
Well, I say keep traveling until the balloons deflate..enjoy the ride..
that’s a cute poem, I would love to be in that car right now….floating away

“Bring you down, and sap you of who you are.” May it never be!
Thinks :- Support is the vital word for this Mag, what?! LOL
Never mind the brakes – enjoy the trip!
I like the analogy here ….
A hopeful little poem.
Thanks!

Thanks, Mary. I enjoyed reading your lovely poem and will sign up for the challenge. Have a great weekend.
A fabulous poem!
WHat a lovely little poem! Thank you for sharing this at the Inspiration Cafe’s Bloomin Marvelous Link party!
Such fun, will have to check it out the challenge.
Enjoyed your poem, imaginative and freeing, yet still based on the reality of how easy our happiness is lost with just a tiny pin prick!
Your poem gives me strength to keep my battle with breast cancer.
I love this. I have let buffoons bust my balloons far too often!
I love this poem. It gives me the impression of letting it all go and following my dreams. Thought there will be people who try to bring me down, I know I can fly with my car and balloons.
Thanks for the info, Mary. Yours is wonderful. I hope I can do half as well! Very creative. Are you going to the blog conf in Greenville in Oct?
