Along the river we run,
The scenes in sight are fun,
Reindeers, peacefully enjoy a walk,
Birds, cheerfully singing to talk.
Of creatures that are about,
The swimming ducks truly stand out,
Into the distance I look,
Cheery blossom hang above the brook.
Clouds, quietly sail by,
The Sun, naughty and shy.
Of the joy and pain you obtain,
An adventure on a hot air balloon
will keep you from living in vain.

Great poem and beautiful picture of hot air balloons. They’re fun to ride and watch the earth stay, while you’re going up, up, and away.
Beautiful, Jingle. And so are your accompanying photos! Hot air balloons always make me smile.

“An adventure on a hot air balloon

hehe. Well said, Lovely! 🙂
this poetry is really joyful and deep all the same….I like the blue balloon, from the ground it draws my attention more powerfully than the other balloons because its one color and has a vertical design that makes me want ascend…I also want to see what is around the river bend…..more wonderful creatures perhaps?
Very inspiring content! I love it! Cindy
