Poems about Balloons

Balloon
I should be thinking about you


but I am thinking
about inevitabilities.

Like how my dog's life will end before mine.
And how my heart isn't even beating half the time.

Maybe it would be better to relax our grip.
take our eyes from the sky
feel the string slip

There's biology and there's sociology and there's
plenty
of other people out there, man.

and

We'll pop
either way
or deflate
someday.   By Matthew

The Red Balloon


High above the world I fly

Deep red against a bright blue sky

Such a shame I was let go

By a young girl

Who now I’ll never know

But oh did she cry

And her mother did try

But I was gone

Floating into space

Her daddy tried to keep up pace

But I was much too high

And much too fast

In a few years, I’ll be a thing of the past

She won’t even remember the day

She let a pretty red balloon get away

-Jessica Evans 

Balloon

She is a balloon
Don't get caught chasing her
You will get tangled in her string
Or next time you look down you will be too far off the ground and you wont be able to float back down and you will be stuck up there forever

- BY Melonee Peterson

balloon

child
and there in his hand
balloon of bright colors 
not even rain will damp that smile
come on shine like a child's mind
all that darkness you feel is just state of mind
if anyone can smile in the rain you can
he is as free as happiness could be
in the living breathing dream of his balloon
no lonely dreamers in a child's eyes
all just strange wonderful stories in the 
wondrous playhouse we call a world
come on shine like a child's mind
our toys will all too soon fade away
let us rejoice in our laughter
rejoice in eachothers dream
child at heart is who i am
lets go find you a balloon
so you can shine like a child's mind

-Mark John Junor

Red taste like red peppers
Red smells like roses
Red sounds like a volcano
Red looks like a warm summer night
Red makes me nuts
Red is my favorite color.

Pink smells like lip balm
Pink sounds calming
Pink looks like a sunset
Pink makes me excited
Pink is my favorite color.
ORANGE is the color of leaves
Orange is loud
Orange taste like an orange
Orange smells tangy
Orange sounds like squishy squishy squishy
Orange looks round
Orange makes me smile
Orange is my favorite color.
YELLOW is the color of bananas
Yellow is mellow
Yellow taste like sunshine
Yellow smells like lemons

Yellow looks like the sun
Yellow makes me sad
Yellow is my favorite color.
GREEN is the color of  swaying grass 
Green is the earth
