Notes About The Poem

Stay Strong

kite firm in hand no sun no wind no string

This Kimo twirled me around and threw me on the ground, Line. Kite brought me up, and suddenly no sun, no wind, no string. You have captured what I've been feeling during a spring break where I've been sick, and the sun is not out. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest. Happy Easter.
