[hometext] => I was inspired to write this one from a kite's perspective after seeing all the great kites at Bondi Beach for the Festival of the Winds. At least I think its about a kite...
[bodytext] =>  Lifted up into the breeze, A gust of wind the force of flight My tail fluttering as you please, As I swiftly rise towards the light. I can’t believe I am so high, Below me the admiring crowds I gracefully arc across the sky, My destination is the clouds. To my left an awesome sight, Kites of every shape and size Their colours shimmering in the light, Diamond, box and delta rise. Some sing and whistle with each gust, Some flutter in a gentle tease A tubular kite as big as a bus, slowly rolls into the breeze. And to my right and set apart, Their strings glistening with powdered glass The fighters practice their deadly art, The gaudy kites not in their class. A dip, a feign, a somersault, A fluid, barracuda shift All executed without fault, Another enemy set adrift. And at the point of tautest string, Champing at the tethering twine All attempts to reel me in, Only serve to snap the line. For good or ill I’m now alone, The sudden freedom, sweet release A surge of panic, my anchor gone, Followed by a sense of peace. I can’t predict how the wind will blow, The path an unmapped curve of blue My destination, whose to know, That takes me further away from you. Now a pinprick in the sky, Beyond all hope of any return A splash of colour bids goodbye, A wafting kite to parts unknown.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
