Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. I enjoyed reading. I have always wanted to ride in a hot-air balloon, but am too chicken. LOL

Multihued joy,we fly aloft & Flitting birds,we try to accost. & flitting birds,we try to accost. (space needed after comma & in the second one capital 'F' on flitting)

Nice set up and presentation for this post. Baloons are a great pleasure to watch long as they don't be like the balloons they shut down in our air space.WedFeb8-2023.

This is a lovely poem for me club entry. Your syllable count is right and I enjoyed seeing it and reading it. I only have one problem with it and that is that you have put the white text on the lighter pink color. It makes it hard for me to read as a visually impaired person. If you were dark in the background to a darker pink, it would be helpful. Patricia

This was my second reading of a Octelle work. Rather interesting and educational. The hot air balloons were telling the story, right? I could feel the human dismay at anything other than a smooth flight.

Beautiful picture! I liked the repeated stanza because it added impact to this light and easy piece.

Having been on a hot air balloon, I find then more enjoyable to watch (or read about) then actually go on.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful grasp of the English language.

This octelle, Balloons, has the proper formatting and seems to paint the balloon pilots as both arrogant and troublemakers. I suppose that's a bird's eye view. : )

Well written poem about a hot air balloon ride. I've never been in one and not sure if I want to be.

You took us on a small journey with the balloon telling the tale.

Nicely done...

Cheers to returning safely.
John

Nice try. Perhaps, it is the way people talk in different parts of the world. You clearly follow the 8-8-7-7-7-7-8-8 format however the rhyming comes up short for me. Have a blessed day.
