My Little Paper Plane

I caught the sun rays
On the wings of my little paper plane
A golden light with utter delight
Trapped in games and lost its light
The sight to see belongs to the sun
Not even to the waves of my little paper fun
Dipping and diving along the way
As the waves on the wings of my plane sway
And so does the light, struggling 
to survive and fight today
This trapped soul of a golden ray
Seeks freedom from the clutches of display
A ray riding on a little paper plane, play.

Nicely done indeed, Carol. You took a simple object - a paper airplane - and turned it into poetic subject matter and theme! Congratulations on your win. Like Gordon, I enjoyed the flow of your words - like the wind catching your "little paper airplane." Blessings!
