Mohan Chutani Poet Quatrain

Soaring Kites

Kites fly high in the air
Line spools whiz fast to support
Souls twine in joy bare
Skies dotted in color transport.

Soaring hopes, they are fun
If their attitude is strung good 
Launched fairly, far they run
Well bridled, winds they withstood.

The young grow with their flight
Learning to handle ups and downs
Their horizons expanding infinite
In the otherwise livid daily frowns.

A celebration of our freedom
Kites bring cheer to one ‘n all
Many take it up as a passion
With glorious feats up ‘n tall.

Kite-flying in few places is a culture
Spreading positive energy and loves
Spring and rainy season in particular
Allow the Indians to fly them in droves.

Mark Trichet July 4, 2014 at 2:31 AM Bravo Mohan! nice work, I really enjoyed the flight. I loved "Allow the Indians to fly their doves." Brillliant Mohan Chutani July 4, 2014 at 2:58 AM Thanks Mark for liking. However, I have slightly changed the last line to '...them in droves' instead of '...their doves' as by kites here I imply not birds but paper kites. Mohan
