Who Takes My Torn Kite Up?

Rating: 5.0


I have a crochet-thread big roll lengthy and unbreakable
And this bamboo skeleton wrapped with an oil paper.
In the drizzle of gloomy hope,
My dreamlike delicate kite
When she goes to the unfaithful sky?
And I hear that she mutters;
'Kites rise against the wind.'


(I dedicate this poem to my friends Jerry & Alison)

The kite being a symbol of freedom is taken as rising in this interesting piece Nimal - - it is a worthy dedication too - as Allisom and Jerry will be basking in its journey. Well done.- - - and keep your poetic kite flying high my friend.
