The Balloons Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair

The Balloons

Rating: 5.0


You blow in air into balloons
to prop them up
and make them dear
to children playing
till they burst and the air escape.
A few that escape the children's grip
are taken to heights
on the wings of air;
poor things they too burst.
I am confused: -
Who is playing with the mortal balloons,
The children or thee thyself my Lord?

Well, of course, ANYONE with 'common sense' would play with balloons. Now, this will leave out SOME children, AND maybe the 'Lord' as well. Nice. : ) bri
