Go Fly a Kite

Gigantic dragons with long tails Orange and green crepe contrails Flying majestically in the wind Leveling out high above Yet weaving on currents depend Attracting attention from everyone Keeping youngsters fascinated Imagination in flight Things that are animated Entertaining delight.

Afghans kids would love this, Milt's, it's a regular past time to them, lovely Acrostic . . . : )

A fun way to spend a spring day. (With a light wind). Thanks for sharing the Acrostic poem, Milt. Another form I'd like to try one day. Bill

I love wordplay, so it's a fun way to dabble. Give it a try!

This makes me think of the song 'Let's Go Fly A Kite' from Mary Poppins, this feels so free and light hearted!

Thanks, Michelle. I used to love to fly kites when I was a kid. We used to make them out of newspaper and sticks. Rarely did they fly, but sometimes we were successful. It was always fun.
