FLIGHT OF AUTUMN

Autumn is time for kites to fly 
And turn the windmills of a dream 
A time to fly high up the sky 
Just like a fountain on a stream 

Go flap your wings and fly away 
Autumn is time for kites to fly 
Not everyday's a holiday
So cast your mark before you die

Your dreams may be so wild and high 
And path you take is so extreme 
Autumn is time for kites to fly 
Fill your world with glorious scream

Glory is what you're bound to take 
So flap your wings, make not a sigh 
Go up and make your dreams awake 
Autumn is time for kites to fly

Dear R. B., your vivid poem captures the beauty of Autumn with stunning imagery. I especially enjoyed "turn the windmills of a dream" and your refrain "Autumn is time for kites to fly" is blissful. Congratulations for your excellent win in Joseph's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

This is a lovely quatern autumnal poem Roger with a great title too. Some wonderful lines,’ And turn the windmills of a dream’ ‘Autumn is time for kites to fly’ . The poem flowed well and I could easily picture the kite flying high. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Hope you’re having a great autumn. :):)

Thank you very much... I wanted to make it inspirational like the flying of kite... There's no autumn season in our country though, windy season is either part of sunny or rainy season, but mostly rainy... But in my place right now it's very windy like I actually experience autumn season... Leaves fall everywhere...
