Balloon

This is a free verse, each line framed with six words, comparing balloons with human lives. A six-word story is quoted at the end.

We are balloons filled with emotions, 
Attached to strings yet flying freely!

Unable to hold on, we lift. 
Hoping to let go, we fly.

Explosions

World around me..

Water balloons explode.
         How painful!
Fireworks explode.
         How colourful!
Gift boxes explode.
         Huge surprise!

Elsewhere in the universe..
