From obscurity come the strangers Fading away, like old dangers. Walking the street of flowers more people pass every hour A few are pleasantry exchangers. Near my porch, robin sings Beautiful music for summer swing! Red berries in a bowl Kelly green butterfles, on patrol Noontime's for swaying and musing. Passersby, smiles of the moment Starry eyes, upon distance fervent! Jasmine fragrance in the air Pink hummingbird is stopping there Yellow balloon wafts by, silent.

Evelyn, congratulations on your POTD! So happy for this recognition of your wonderful poetry and this delightful poem filled with colorful whimsy and a yellow balloon like a sunbeam flitting through the air! I was so taken by your ability to witness the world "passing by" yet not passing you by! You quietly take it all in and turn it into a poetry of life! Enjoy this well deserved honor, dear friend. Sending you a basket of Easter blessings in yellow, pink, orange and purple dear friend.

I believe that SILENT yellow balloon knows all your secrets Evelyn. I know some very proper older women who were absolute terrors in their wilder days. Nice write...stay on the porch they're probably not ready for you

I'm trying to comprehend that 'silent yellow balloon.' Must be a deep message there, beyond my ken. ~ gw

Evelyn Judy Buehler
Date: 4/16/2025 8:20:00 PM

Thank you for your thoughts, Gershon. That silent, yellow balloon is indicative of the lives of nearby, happy children at play. Or maybe the balloon is lost, and searching for the yellow brick road. :0
