Kite

Kite                         

A plastic colored bird,
waltzing in the sky,         
tethered to, but looking down upon,
a boy.                       

Kite                         

A plastic colored bird,
waltzing in the sky,         
looking like, but looking down upon,
his mates.

Kite                         

A plastic colored bird,
tangos with his mates,
circles in the sky,
up, down, up,
guided by,
careful hands.               

Kite                         

A plastic colored bird,
ripples through the sky,
crashes into sand,
plunk, thud, splat,
brought down by,
careless hands.                                  

Boy,

looking up upon,
tethered to,
waltzing in the sky,
a plastic colored bird,
a kite.

Comments: At Ocean City, Maryland, stunt kites amazed me with their acrobatics.  Kites are no longer boring. Kites are cool. FEEDBACK WELCOME.

Caren Krutsinger January 1, 2019 at 7:36 AM i like the repeat of this "A plastic colored bird, waltzing in the sky" - it is a friendly, happy, tribute poem which seems to give the kite a distinct personality, Noel. Nice! Noel Flater March 9, 2019 at 6:12 PM Thanks Caren, I like simple things. I'm publishing one poem a week. Feel free to check out my other poems. NoelsArt
