Wonder

Posted by Fiona Veitch Smith on 7 Apr 2008

The Write Life group were asked to write poems or short prose pieces in response to the balloon launch on Easter Sunday. Here's one by Julie Sheasby:

Wonder
Mummy, Mummy
Balloons!
One fat pudgy finger pointing
Up
Up, high into the sky.

 

Wonder

Mummy, Mummy
Balloons!
One fat pudgy finger pointing
Up
Up, high into the sky.

Gazing heavenwards
Balloons!
Not 1, not 2 but 101
A fleet of them
off to places unknown.

Mummy, Mummy
Balloons!
Hands clapping wildly
Face beaming from ear to ear
Up
Up, high into the sky.

Childlike wonder
Thrilling!
Joy overflowing,
infectious and mysterious
It’s Easter Day.
