Paper Aeroplane Dreaming To Be a Maverick
For John Lawless
Paper Aeroplane Contest
14 August 2022
Every child at some point in their life
seeing someone fly a kite for the very
1st time
Will most probably later on that night
go to bed and say a prayer for one
of his or her very own
And who on earth amongst us wouldn't
want to know exactly what that must
feels like
To be the 1at the end pulling the string's
and therefore cotrolling the kite's flight
But for those unfortunate for whom
a kite they could only dream but never own
They had to make do with making
an aeroplane out of scrap's of paper
to fly upon a breeze
Hopefully 1 good enough with the right
trajectory of throw and a prevailing
headwind
Could end up flying so far away the
naked eye could no longer see
Then afterwards only bound by the
limit's of imagination and gift for
storytelling wondering where on
earth it went or ended up landing
Later instead of using paper to build
aeroplane out of began using it to write on
As with a head now so full of wonderment
akin to a child flying a kite dancing the breeze
Up and up so high so only downward can
see till so weightless nothing seemed impossible
Even writing poetry out of alphabetical soup
as now he not only had both the tools to do it
i.e paper and pen
He had also somehow gained and managed
to harnessed the the most important and
essential ingredient of all
The power of one's imagination that in
the 1st place is needed to make every
dream get off the ground in order so
they can take flight
