Wind Sock Kite-Mare

Wind sock kites can be seen along the beach Couldn’t afford one; always out of reach Until that Wednesday When one got away “Please, Mom, let it be mine,” I did beseech No other kids were in sight on the sand I grabbed the string; the kite took off as planned Seagull in the way Tangled right away Snarled in the jetty, I saw it crash land *Entry for Gwendolen’s “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” contest Dedicated to Alexa Brus who has helped me hone my writing abilities and gave me the encouragement to continue writing when my muse escaped.
