Untethered Vessel
A Haiku for the Vocal Skyku Challenge
I’ve always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon. It represents liberty, freedom from worry. A fulfilment of one’s desire to explore.
A hot air balloon also symbolises the ability to let go of the strings around our lives.
May this hot air balloon mean new starts and possibilities.

Unencumbered craft—
Floating free through boundless blue,
Brown earth waits below.

Looks terrifying riding in a hot air balloon. Beautiful Haiku however, almost gets me over the fear. Nicely Done!!!
Delightful haiku and introduction… I’ve never been in a hot air balloon, but they look magnificent ✅
Decades ago I lived in New Mexico and was lucky enough to watch the great air balloon fair. What a pleasureful ode:)
Beautiful
Great haiku!
This was so beautiful and optimistic! Loved it!
Lovely! I’ve never ridden an air balloon either. Should put it on my bucket list.
