Life


captured - expanded - reflected

by a miniature sun
playing metaphor
  a yellow balloon
released to the heavens

speaking the language
  of the freedom
    (happiness
      and love)
that comes on the wings
of the future

This poem (of eleven written lines) was inspired by the picture 'Jump' created by ~poop-art on DeviantArt:

So you know I read the rules : 'cat got fried'.

    A very hopeful piece. I'd like to think that there was a place in heaven for yellow balloons looking to be free but I just don't know. Anyway, good work with the poem

  • i love love love the part about "playing metaphor!" that whole concept is so deep and unique! i love how you added the playful aspect of the word jump into the poem along with a deeper and universal concept. great write and good luck in the contest!
