KITE                                                             

             Graceful buoyant in flight
             Me the black-breasted Kite
             Broad in structure, yet body light.

          Loner am I, love to soar high
          Slowly steadily waggling flapping
         long narrow angled-back wings 
         with notched tail to propel
        gliding swooping on kinetic dive.
        
        On insects, rodents, reptiles I wish to thrive
        mostly alive.
       Sometimes snails for a break.
       Slow-moving creatures at stake,
        cannot escape.
   
      Expert to pick up prey
      with wavy-edged mandible beak
     at the very opportune moment
     directed by my sharp keen eyesight.
      Me the black-breasted Kite.
