fifty balloons
is now not enough; colours
still in creating
three blind mice
a nursery rhyme ago sung -
pride of new chants
years of growing -
the strains of innocence in
Chaconia bracts

Well worth celebrating!
Fifty three is a fine number of balloons and flowers with which to celebrate being
Happy Independence Day! Certainly one to celebrate with colourful flowers and balloons.
Happy Independence Day to you and Trinidad and Tobago. Independence is a wonderful thing.
Have a wonderful day, Gillena. New photo is nice. :)
Both together--the maturing and the innocence. I love the flowers and the need for more colors. I've always found 3 blind mice scary--but that is the point, isn't it? Taken Life and independence, we have always the bitter with the sweet. But maybe we can make something new.
How precious independence is.
I enjoyed your poem in honor of those 53 years. Enjoy your country's celebration.
Wishing you a very happy independence day.. hope your day is filled with joy.. as is your poem :D
