The Helium Feeling : Simile Poetry

written by Poet : EC


Lightness is what it takes
the helium feeling gives wings
even mountains fly
after all, why shouldn't they?

I felt the pull upwards
someone tugged at my hair
none of my indignant screams stopped it
as my feet slipped off solid ground

Suddenly I sailed through air like a pirate ship
setting sails I didn't know I had
while brandishing knives and pistols
in defence of my new found wings
freedom in thoughts and actions
as built on the lack of all too solid ground
