If a Teardrop

 This week at Friday Poetically, we were challenged by Brian to compose a poem from a list of words used in Shel Silverstein's poem One Inch Tall.

If a teardrop were a balloon

Carried to school, loved, a blue friend

Whispered to before you go to sleep tonight

Soon...magic!

From blue to green, yellow, sunny

Only a dream?

Go try!

Girl with red shoes and green balloon

Saw you steal it from birthday party as you walked by fence

You also stole my heart

Please meet me for stale birthday cake

Friday, 8 p.m.

Same location

To return heart

Or give me yours in exchange

It only seems fair

Reply: Boy with white sneakers

The above is my first attempt at a Flash 55.
