The Red Balloon | Susy

An obvious escape for the balloon,
I, for one saw it coming.
Even though the balloon was securely attached to the string and the string was grasped just as strongly by the boy’s hand.
It didn’t matter.
The balloon was set for adventure. It was going someplace never seen before.
A riveting ride
A color wheel ready for exploration.
Sounds in the air, a gravitational slowing, almost as if it would effect something differently.
It did.
Don’t let go.
Hold on tight.
Show us.

The Lemon Twist | Ken Allan Dronsfield

Lemonade flows from
a mounted fountain
by chocolate diamond
rivers of peaceful rain.
Honey drops blissful
of sweet or sour kisses,
the dew faeries dance
operas of fruit romance.
Coveted roses outside
the hazy open window,
sweet summertime winds
gently sway pines in rhyme.
A corncob pipe smolders by
the bowl of lemon twists and
essence of a peppermint taffy
await a night of the jovial folly.

Goat Boy | Angelica Fuse

It’s Mother’s Day
but I am only
mother to the imaginary
Goat Boy who lives
grazing in my mind
eating what he pleases
a sight
to injure the eyes
of other pastel dressed
doting parents.
