Moon Harp Poet Free verse

Fallen Kite

If sky is real, then so is wind --
a wind as friendly as a friend
that hardly anybody knows.

Wind, a friendly friend
does not hide behind a kite
but blows right through --
to lift it up and watch it soar.

Our strings are tethered
to this earthly earth  --
a downward pull to keep
us down.

A tangled tangent now --
to each his own to own.
We are not helpless
in this helping state.

We'll all reach out
to hold each hand --
to be that friend,
a friendly wind
blowing through
to left each other up.

Andrea Dietrich April 11, 2026 at 4:11 PM Another really cool poem. Love your style. Have i followed you yet? Also this poem is a fave Moon Harp April 11, 2026 at 9:37 PM Yes. We are following each other. One of the reasons why my poetry is a little different is because I am primarily a SOUND POET, and not so much an image poet. I do work in 50 different forms, so I am considered eclectic. I sure appreciate the imagery in your poetry!
