Question

(ii) Poem appreciation.

Whenever I see Gas balloons go up I wonder where we‟d end up If we‟re balloons.

Would we go far away To some unknown destiny ?

Or will it be carefully decided goal We would work our way to ?

Balloons! How much they‟relike human beings-

so different from each other

in colours, shapes, design and sizes

Some live long and some don‟t

Just like us some find

A pair of loving hands and some don‟t

They get lost, burst or destroyed

Like we do

At times

They rub cheeks affectionately

Occasionally you can hear

them whisper secrets

As only friend will

And once in a while, in the chill

of the night, or mist of dawn

you may find one tear

flowing down

silently
