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. 29.03.2021 Sponsor: Brian Strand All yours (March 29) First Place

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!
