A beautiful poem. I Didn’t want it to end. It’s exciting to see a floating balloon though often it is celebrating a death but not this time.

One thought highways might be fun - POP! One took a nap in a cactus pile - POP! One stayed to play with a careless child - POP! What an imagination. Tony

This has a colorful 'action' feeling to it. He could have gone further with it, but set it at eight- knowing it could go far beyond that. Like a bouquet of balloons and their adventures. Good for a children's' book!
