The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Summer Sky

Summer sky, pure blue,
Meets rippling aqua ocean
With barely a seam.

Parasails billow,
Lifted like birds on the wind,
Dancing above curling waves.

A lone cloud, mermaid-like.
Long gossamer hair, a tail,
Morphs into a squirrel

A boat cloud parade
Floating toward the sandy beach
Slowly dissipates.
