Balloon

Toys littering the nursery floor,
a chaos of colour and shape,
there, in the centre, a helium balloon,
tethered in stillness, unmoved,
its string a vertical exclamation
fallen beneath, motionless as though
wind and weather were fiction
in this frozen heart of disorder.


Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 02.16.23
Prompt: Write a motionless poem.
