Prompt 231: Lump

Pranita of Miracles Happen brings us this week's prompt, lumpHere is her wonderful poem.

Juicy lumps of love
 Bouncing bubbles carry joy
 Gateway to pure bliss

Nectar sucking bee
 Rejoice under misty clouds
 Taste delightful buds

 Splash salty water
 Eager dolphins dance the night
 Revel the moonlight

From halcyon (n.), late 14c., from L. halcyon, from Gk. halkyon, variant (perhaps a misspelling) of alkyon "kingfisher," from hals "sea, salt" (see halo-) + kyon "conceiving," prp. of kyein "to conceive," lit. "to swell," from PIE root *keue- "to swell." Identified in mythology with Halcyone, daughter of Aeolus, who when widowed threw herself into the sea and became a kingfisher. (from dictionary.com)

Prompt 228: Balloon

Harshad Mehta of Space Within brings us this week's prompt, balloon. Here is his poem:

Call of a Balloon

Light and colorful
Going higher and higher
As high as I can
And still further….
Nothing holds me
In my single minded pursuit
…. to reach my highest
No looking back
No holding back
No intentions to return
My let go is complete
Reaching higher
I will disappear,
Clinging not
Hearts looking at me from the ground
Connect with me
Some smile, some sigh!
