IT FLIES!

On a quiet summers' day... a sight in the sky.

                             IT FLIES !!!

Alone am I...visioned in the clear blue sky

As birds and fluffy clouds pass me by.

I zing and I buzz ...wind takes me high

a tug and a pull is what it needs to make me fly!

Attraction is drawn to the sounds I make

'Selfies' are needed - these I cannot take.

Just a simple contraption - bone, frame and tails

Beauty to the eye in unmarked trails.

Bamboo sticks for body - light on windiest day

Bright tissue paper in skillful array

Airborne I glide as boys - and girls come out to play.

No internet to distract - winds are at their strongest today.

Zing, zing here I go again ~ happy and carefree

No one up here to capture or dare bother me

Sun above my head *** ^***

I'll fly and fly till it's time to go to bed.

Kite flying, wonderfully uplifting. Even writing about it does that to your reader. Yes, I knew you were writing about kites, because I used to fly them years ago with my siblings. What fun we had, watching them in the freedom of the skies, willing them to stay up, when the wind wasn't helping.

I too have had so much fun passing on the techniques of kite making to my children, as handed down by my grandfather! Nothing can beat the excitement in a child's face when the kite finally 'takes flight'!

[Chris Shaw]

That it very true.

You are definitely not a Kite Kitty even though your "Kitty" title is almost there. As I remember Kites were controlled by us young-un's and I can't imagine you being controlled by anyone. Very thought provoking piece my Lovely. Allways good to read your work and I hope I can carry on reading. Take care Rod.

nicely done.

Childhood days are back it seems. Airborne, fly, sun, winds, No internet to distract...
Wishing for a time to get back in life! Amazing poem kitty.

Kids these days miss out on some fun times making and flying kites. I was a girl doing 'boy' things. These memories came back while on holiday in the Caribbean lounging in the sunshine. Thanks for visiting this page.

Kitty you doing 'boy' things must be really funny lol but seriously, you really brought back some melodies memories back from the time. Your most welcome friend :)

Everything accredited to boys...Cowboys and Ind.. Making and flying kites, playing marbles, climbing trees and later on in life into watching boxing matches - even trained with my ex!
