K is for ... Kites

Rhombic paper-mache of dreams
Dancing aloft in wind currents.
Undulating in the infinity.
Conquering the crested iris.
A distant silhouette
Tasting the skies,
Inspiring to look
Further and higher.
Tangled reins
Locked in trance.
Behold! Their rhythm,
Ceaselessly goading.
The unruly stringless wanderer
Scaling the silver skylines.
Skilled hands mastering
The string, now loose, now taut,
Willing it in to a smooth glide,
Urging and encouraging the flight.
Wide-eyed innocence
Mesmerized,
Their young beating heart,
Reaching for stars,
Untiringly, chasing the kites.

  4. I love flying kites but don't get enough opportunity to do so. Hoping our first grandchild who is due in a few months will enjoy them when he/she is older and then I'll have the excuse to do so too.

    Wow.

    This was incredibly vivid writing.

    I've never been able to fly a kite.

    But I felt like I was with your klever words!

    Thank you for linking to the letter K.

    A+
