With my joyful balloon
I found the sky.
But find in middle-age
That the balloon soon
Deflates. And of late
My thoughts engage
With Raleigh’s stage.
(Note: the reference to “Raleigh’s stage” is to his poem “All the Worlds a Stage”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMuWT1iLn3w

Many thanks for sharing my poem, Michael. Kevin
Thoughtful, and the reference to Raleigh is perfect. Thanks, Kevin! Have a beautiful Sunday! xx Michael
Thank you, Michael. I’m delighted you like my poem. You also, have a lovely Sunday. I shall be meeting friends to walk Apollo along with their Rhodesian Ridgeback Asha in a local park. Kevin
A thought provoking poem, Kevin.
