Red Kite

Red Kite

We walked in the woods ,
There was a red kite 
Mobbed by crows .
Plastic bag 
Rattling
On the hawthorne
Dogshit on the 
Treads of 
A small pair of shoes .
But we walk on 
Into the sunlight 
Wash ourselves down
And don’t look back.
Another time will
Come 
We will make 
A different day.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
