A ride in a hot air balloon is not on my list of things to do. God made me without wings and I see no reason to try to change his design. Good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Charlie, man up!!! LOL It is at the top of my bucket list.
God didn't make you with wheels either, but I am willing to bet a bundle you don't walk everywhere. :-D Thanks, Brooke

You're welcome, Brooke. As I approach a hundred percent disability, the doctors are discussing wheel chairs. I'm not in agreement with them.
Comment from mstad55
This one I enjoyed alot. I like the descriptive, "popcorn clouds" all that's missing is the salt and butter. The flight along with the birds, is great too. All in all this is a winner with me. mstad55

You have to supply your own salt and butter, my friend!! Thanks, Brooke :-)

Okay, but I want an orange slushy to go with that too.
-
I hope you're not expecting the jumbo size because that is just pushing it! :-)

Hey, I'll grab two straws and we can share, so pony up to the bar and get the extra large with lots of ice for crunching when the pop's all gone.

It is on the top of my bucket list - it's always too expensive for me. Thanks so much and I hope you're having a wonderful weekend whatever the heck time it is there :-) I'd say good morning, but I know that would be totally wrong. LOL Brooke
Comment from Isaiah Gomez
There was a natural flow throughout this, it made you feel, comfortable, almost as if you were gliding across the vast skies.
well done

This is a lovely quatern, Brooke. You are very good at this sort of thing. The poem is smooth and easy to read, and the repeated line is beautiful.

Comment from perunest
I love the progression of thought in
this poem as we travel with you "aloft
amidst the popcorn clouds" - enjoying
the flight so much that it becomes an
earnest desire to be able to fly at
will. This poem has a wonderful feel
to it! Carolyn

I loved the lightness and freedom inherent in this poem. Lovely imagery put me in the basket of the the hot air balloon, there among the popcorn clouds. Effortless use of the repeating line, natural rhyme, nice rythmn and flow. Excellent job.

Comment from Fleedleflump
I fly my course amongst the clouds,
adrift on floating dreams,
my sharpest eyes aware of all
the fish that swim the stream.
The out the blue I see a blob,
a ball of many colours.
It hesitates as if afraid,
or waiting for some others.
I fly away before it sees me;
way to big a fish.
I'll stick to hassling lonely mackerel;
it's way too big for my dish.
