Carol Sunshine Brown Poet Couplet

Get It Flying

Try try with all our might
This time may we get it right

Another day does come
Still we are all thumbs

Is getting this done right
Really going to be our blight

Another chance is all we ask
Leave other tries in the past

Stop wait are we going to fast
Another let down have we cast

Oh my what a beautiful sight
Finally we learn to fly a kite

Well a very nice poem there Carol. I have been busy lately. I have some positive news though. 2 of my poems have been published in poetry books. lol

Ken Duddle April 20, 2012 at 12:02 PM Thanks for commenting on my poems. Thought I should return the favor. Nice litle verse veering towards the humor that I like. Never knew what the ending was going to be but it all fitted in well.

Debbie Guzzi April 19, 2012 at 6:32 PM Yes, a kite can be a mixed blessing ..here today goon tomorrow! Light & Love

Fanessa Bendall April 19, 2012 at 7:51 AM This is great. I took my kids out to fly kites a month ago and every one question the wind and I told them I can get them up and I did. My children had a blast till the tree got jealous and stole one of the kites.
