A beautiful sight, which I’ve only seen from the ground. I’ve often wondered what being up there would be like… if only I could overcome my anxiety I might find out 😉
Oh wow, Chris this morning s superb. I love how you’ve written the poem in the shape and poem n colors of the balloon. Truly amazing. Thanks a lot for joining in the challenge
I loved this so much! Awesomely done. Perfect words, perfect shape, perfect colours… a perfect take on this prompt Chris.
My mom had similar thoughts before going on a hot air balloon ride and it did land somewhere in the greens due to a small problem.. 🙂 it was fixed soon too … but i smile listening to the story 🙂
Yeah, um, don’t think so, lol. While no doubt an amazing experience, my fear of heights would not allow me into that basket. I love how you combined color and shape to reflect the prompt photo. Well written and imo, totally open to interpretation, which is always fun 😀
I can do this type of poetry… but I can’t copy and paste it without having a real difficult go –
So kudos to you for this wonderful piece and its artistry in imagery.
I initially tried cutting and pasting from word, but it didn’t work at all. Easy fix: convert to a photo and upload that. I used the snipping tool to create a .png file and it worked a treat!
Nicely done and presented, Chris!
I’ve seen a couple of (a quick Internet search tells me the collective noun, although it may not be the right one!) festivals of hot air balloons, but only from the ground. I bet they’re really magical up there!

Festival of balloons! It’s a beautiful sight to see. I took my son at age 12 to see them rise. Your descriptions are on point Chris.
