It slipped away
red balloon, with blue ribbons
a tear left behind
Over clouds it flew
dancing with the wind until
exhaled its last breath
It slipped away
red balloon with blue ribbon
down to outstretched hand
Over fields and woods
dancing with the wind until
exhaled a tiny breath
It slipped away
red balloon with blue ribbons
with tear left behind

Thank you for entering my contest. This is a very nice haiku chain, that follows pretty close to the traditional 5-7-5.
