(From the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.
a crowd of poets released balloons which included notes that each of us had written.
The balloons were expected to land outside the U.S.)
L Love reaching outward; a breath-taking view
O Our "Poems For Peace" tied with ribbons were
sent
V Via throngs of balloons; red, white and blue
E Each rising, with prayers, through warm
breezes went.
S Sailing my blue one 'til too small to see
E Echoed my joy just to share in a part
N Nurturing the hope that someone will be
T Touched by the offer of peace from my heart.
