And between the roads I was standing.
Blowing a red balloon with mouth,
Then came a boy, crossing the road.
He stood on the divider, and then
Further filled the balloon with air.
Although it was filled enough,
He continued to fill the balloon.
When I asked him to stop, he didn’t
And still continued to fill it.
Then he began to cross the other road
continuing to fill the balloon.
It being filled excess,
all of a sudden then it burst.
The sudden burst shocked him,
And a car hit him.
The more he wanted,
The more he lost.
As the greed exceeds,
The loss exceeds…………….

Two one way roads passing side by,
And between the roads I was standing.
Blowing a red balloon with mouth,
Then came a boy, crossing the road.
He stood on the divider, and then
Further filled the balloon with air.
Although it was filled enough,
He continued to fill the balloon.
When I asked him to stop, he didn’t
And still continued to fill it.
Then he began to cross the other road
continuing to fill the balloon.
It being filled excess,
all of a sudden then it burst.
The sudden burst shocked him,
And a car hit him.
The more he wanted,
The more he lost.
As the greed exceeds,
The loss exceeds…………….

Dramatic and driving the message with bold and storytelling imagination. Even if you slightly crack the door for greed eventually it will own the room and all its possessions. Very well done

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
