To celebrate National Poetry Day, here's a list of our favourite hot air balloon poems.
Be inspired and capture the magic of ballooning on this once-in-a-lifetime experience in the skies.
I saw a hot air balloon flying over my house:
Most of the time, it was as quiet as a mouse,
But, every so often, its burners suddenly roared,
And higher, up into the sky, it suddenly soared.

gentle and easy
luminous clouds, I touch flight.....
exquisite freedom

Sunlight skips across tired waves
like a child skimming pebbles of gold.
A fly away balloon
leaving trails of candy hues
fading into the night
dreaming dreams never told.
By Zeraphear
I'm leaving town
I'll be back soon
I'm taking a ride
in a hot air balloon.
The noise is loud
when the burners fire.
The heat takes me up
higher and higher.
I float in the sky.
It's a wonderful thing.
Now I know why
flying birds sing.
By Joy Acey
I think that I might fly away, in my hot air balloon
And hide from worldly worries on the dark side of the moon;
There's but one thing I need before I float into the blue:
I need a sky companion and I want it to be you.
By Graeme King
