Kite

Up in the heavens
Over this mortal plane...
Watch me glide with hovered wings.

I can feel the winds rush
Around this surreal fin
Of satin paper, wooden frame;
Lifting up my hollow skin.

Be my navigator.
The tides of the air restrict me.
Take my hand through the skies...
I can only fly by your gentle love strings.

This is one of my most

This is one of my most favourite of your wonderful poetic works-of-art, Dennis.A stunning metaphoric write, filled with resplendent imagery and detail. I feel the freedom of the Kite as I read and I love how you ask that someone so special to take your hand and help you navigate - how could she possibly refuse such a loving request. Beautiful flow to the poem and it is a flawless poetic gem so fairly crafted by your poetic/artistic pen. Thank you so very much for sharing Dennis. Truly lovely work!
