a kite flies high carried by the wind - - the string snaps for Gwendolen's contest I'm not sure if this is a good haiku, LOL, but Deb G has helped me enormously

Very vivid images here, Jack! Really enjoyed this! And I read your comments, I will make sure to remind you next year- we can still go beyond Earth hour and do our own part like using less plastic bags, planting trees, etc :) I hope your hand is doing better-- I read your blog and I suppose the bandages are gone by now :) Will continue praying for your hand! :D

Wow this IS a good Haiku Jack! I thoroughly enjoyed this write that I have read this evening! I really liked the juxtaposition, "the string snaps" which brings the poem to a definite close! Shows awesome talent my friend! Great Work!!

I LOVE this modern haiku, Jack! Those blasted strings always snapped when I tried flying a kite. Then you'd look at the trees above and see a kite cemetery. LOL Best wishes in Gwen's contest! Love, Carolyn
