“Kites at Play,” New Era, Aug. 1989, 25
Kites at Play
once-upon-a-blusty, gusty, march
my eyes swept the sky and found
minute specks of soaring color
dipping swingingly with loops and bounds
pursuing the wind
like bright kittens chasing their tails.
suddenly the bravest speck drops—
seizing its tail and racing earthbound.
before the dreadful crash, it turns—
and, heading for the sky,
it flies away into forever.
