Hot air balloons ❤️

Rising gently up off the ground
As the roar of the burner bellows out sound
Stood in a big wicker basket
Ten strangers & me
We are on a hot air balloon adventure you see

In no time at all we are floating up high
Eight brightly coloured balloons 
I can spy
Each one differently patterned bright
What a marvellous feeling, such an incredible sight

Spectacular scenery I am in awe
Snow-capped mountains surround us galore
Matchbox sized fields as I look down below
Farming animals looking up as we go

No one could ignore this amazing view
Nine hot air balloons out of the blue
I snap shots & videos from my phone
“Becareful you don’t drop it”
They groan

The pilot pops a second cork
Champagne is flowing freely
Along with apple strudel for all
Perfect combination ideally
Oohs & Aaahs can be heard
Too remarkable to utter a word
Paradise & heaven on Earth
You certainly get your money’s worth

Our balloon is green & yellow
A contrast to the rest
The nearest one alongside us
Is the one I like the best
It shines like a diamond in the sky
Golden orange, it captures your eye
So stunning as it passes by
I will treasure this memory till the day I die
