Kite of a Forever Day

Breaths of air raise... emotion.) classic form 
departure is.. "a feeling through a line"
bright red; sky or blue.!
my first inkling of..
wide ranging 
possibility's
as dad 
and I 
watch
you 
fly....

This is an exquisite and poem with it's perfect form (shape and concrete) my dear friend, Joe. It also reminds me about my dad (now in heaven) who loved to fly kite with my younger brother. I love it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing and thank you so much as well for your precious time to read my latest poem & your very inspiring comments. Have a great day! love lots, Leonora

I like this "Shape" poem a lot. I haven't flown a kite in a long time but enjoy watching peoplefly them. This poem reminds me of line of a Moddy Blues song: "This day will last a thousand years - if you want it to" Peace &blessings Matthew Anish

This is such an enjoyable poem, Joe. I am having trouble figuring out what you want in your contest. I didn't see the haiku. Oh well, I guess others do since you already have entries. Best wishes to all the contestants. Love, Crolyn

Thanks for your comment, Joe. At age three I was standing on my head and spinning around. Pedaling to Telegraph Hill was a snap for me, but my sister didn't enjoy the ride. LOL I hope you post some new work soon. Love, Carolyn

Hi again, Joe! As I reread this I'm thinking that could be the topic and title of a beautiful song. It feels so tender and musical.:) Wishing you and yours the best! Love Mikki
