The Downfall Of Helium Poem by Amanda Dickerman

The Downfall Of Helium

Rating: 5.0


And it floated into the air
Far away from the child’s hand
Of all expression her face was bare
And it floated into the air
Flying freely without a care
It was never to come back to land
And it floated into the air
Far away from the child’s hand

a second on the cleverness of the helium/downfall juxtaposition. All in all this is a solid examination of the fleeting wonder of childhood, well-crafted and evocative.

Clever juxtaposition of dowfall and helium. I'm not sure how far you a reaching but your poem carries over to reflections on other things that have downsides too:
