A Yellow Balloon
by Shafer Emma Katherine
Why was this yellow balloon in my hand?
It was a toy for a child
And I thought it grand
From it's smooth shiny texture,
I was feeling a bit giddy
How foolish, I thought
This is for a little kiddy.
Yet something about it
Said something to me,
You just couldn't doubt it,
There was something meant to be.
And then a ghost,
Of a far away thought,
Was sparked by this balloon,
Which I had just bought.
A thought of myself,
During summer one year,
And so pure of mind,
And of innocent ears.
Begging my mother,
As we walked in the park,
To buy another and another,
As it slowly got dark.
I would grope for a red
And a green and a blue,
I want that one and this one,
And that one there too.
But soon we would leave,
Down that long winding path,
You are so filthy! said Mother,
You must have a bath!
As I sat in the water,
As my mother cleaned me off,
I asked for a balloon,
All she did was scoff.
Now I walk home,
Clutching my new balloon,
Thinking back to my childhood,
And that one day in June.

Why was this yellow balloon in my hand,
I pondered had it really a place with our band.
Drums and bass, a heavy metal sound.
Was this the stage for a yellow balloon to be found?

Confused
Why was this yellow balloon in my hand.?
Just woken in what seems like a foreign land
Dazed, confused a slight bump upon my head
Looking at the barren landscape, was I alive or dead?
Searching for the answers lying in the sand
Why oh why was this yellow ballon in my god damn hand??"?

Why was this yellow balloon in my hand?
It's something I can't understand,
It could have been blue or any old hue,
But yellow's a colour so bland.

~Yellow Afternoon~
Why was this yellow balloon in my hand?
I was getting ready for the parade and band.
The sun shone a scintillating hue of pure gold,
The world was right ,as I had your hand to hold.
I set the balloon free up into the sea blue sky,
And thought I'll never release you...
I need You and I.

ONE WEIRD DREAM
Why is this yellow baloon in my hand
When it should be a yellow polka dot bikina I'm holding
On top of a yellow submarine maybe?
That sank deeper than the mighty Titanic
Hahaha, I'm no poet, just tried :p

WHO BURST MY BUBBLE
Why was this yellow ballon in my hand
I thought I had buried it deep in the sand
Alas, now it has burst
At least I have set it free - the imaginary me.
