Bluebell SSS Prompt No. 1 ~ Up & Away
It is the perfect gift
Rising up into the sky
Suspended above the earth
The travellers soak up the atmosphere
At one with the elements of
Earth , wind and fire
As they float over the countryside
Weightless … soundless …
Adjust the blindfold
Prepare for the surprise of a lifetime
And a few minutes later
As gravity beckons
The slow descent to terra firma
Carefully , remove the blindfold
A perfect aerial view
Where row upon row
Of her beloved grade threes
Stand erect , in perfect harmony
To offer the ultimate gift
MARRY ME !

A nice romantic tale of propsal written with true creativity.
It just seemed like the perfect opportunity to create a romantic proposal with a difference …
This is terrific…lovely and so romantic! Who wouldn't want such a trip!!
It’s like a win-win scenario , a trip plus an unexpected proposal … *sighs* what more could a girl ask for ?

Aaw, what a cool ending. (or happy beginning) Terrific!
Thanks so much … probably a little of both …
So sweet, Mish. I think that there have been some proposals on hot air balloons. They seem to have a real feeling of romance about them. Really like your poem on the prompt.
Thanks Bodhirose ~ I think that a hot air balloon goes hand-in-hand with romance and surprises …
Nicely done!
