I Tango With the Winds

+
                              U
                              p
                             to
                        the blue
               cotton - candy clouds 
         in  my pretty rainbow dress, I 
       softly sing along with the anthem 
 of Western Winds.  Airy and light, I'm lured-
      being  invited  to  sway  so  slow,
       swirling in intimate tango with 
            the cool - sweet breeze. 
                 Breathing anew, I
                  clamor for more, 
                   I dip and dive.
 With snaps in my tail, I soar high! High
    like a ship sailing the playful tides 
      of the blowing winds, mounting
           from   lows ~ to ~ peaks
              but as the wind rest
                     to relax
                        I fell
                         down
                           too,

This is wonderful, Olive. Not only do your words create the image of your kite flying high in the wind, but in your cleverness, you've also created the form of a kite. VERY well done! ~ Lin ~
