Hi Patricia... you nearly have a monorhyme in this two stanza verse. well done on it and the supporting notes make it all so extra interesting. I enjoyed it.

This is quite an adventure and I am not sure if I will ever sign up for something like this, I'm too chicken for this sport ð???Anyway i really liked the expression "we soar above the ground" I find it quite powerful and resourceful implying more than the word can say. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Looks like two concise quatrains with a monorhyme in the first one, then aabb in the second one. I like the photo being included to show what the poem refers to. I like the 'd' alliteration in 'desert dry.'

Thanks for taking me on the ride with you. Your attention to detail wording made me feel I was lifting off in that balloon. It takes talent to take a simple thing and make it into a work of art. You did just that.

Wow! What a wonderful gift to soar up in the sky. And your delightful poem is the cherry on the cupcake, Patricia. As I read I wondered if I could ever muster up the courage to take such a ride. Hmmm, the jury's still out on that! :-))

That looks scary to me. They did get to see many wonders on the flight. The balloon has an old-fashioned look, and it's great they had an excellent trip. Your rhyme and flow are excellent. What a great picture they got. judi

This is a beautifully written poem full of excitement and love. I imagine that it was a breathtaking sight to see, snow-peaked mountains and all the gorgeous scenery around it. I'm sure it's one Larry won't soon forget. Nicely done.

A very well-written poem about an adventure in a hot air balloon. It must be a wonderful experience to see the environment from above and the wind in your hair.

Hi Patricia. This is a very nice poem. What a great gift for Larry given by Penny. I didn't realize that balloons went up that high. Wow! An experience of a lifetime. Love the poem and the pix. Marilyn

This is another lovely balloon entry that I enjoyed reading very much. The fact that it is romantic is extra frosting. I felt a vicarious thrill reading the poem and your Author's notes. :-)
