Kaleidoscopic Kite

I am kaleidoscopic kite
soaring high~
'neath August sky
whilst children cheer
as I cuddle
cotton clouds
and glide deep down
myrtle mountains.

I soar ~
I flap ~
yet unafraid
for I am free
to enjoy summer's spree
in the comfort of your hands.

Hold my string
not so tight,
not so loose 
and never let me go.

A kite is fragile....Have to hold the string tight, or it may fly away in the wind...This poem is more personification then free verse... But written so well .

"not so tight, / not so loose / and never let me go" sounds like an endearing love poem. Way to go on your first place with this engaging poem, your kite makes a wonderful metaphor for so many thoughts of freedom and flying. Congrats ~ John
