Once there was a young boy <br />He sat on the floor playing with his toys <br />How sad he looked in his eyes <br />There was nil that could relieve his sigh. <br /> <br />Then his eyes caught the attention of a kite <br />It was a grand kite and just waiting for flight <br />Red and blue colors favored all and its tale <br />How wonderful it would be to take it for a sail? <br /> <br />The boy got up and looked out the windowpane <br />He saw a scenic landscape decorated the outer pane <br />It was a play world waiting for kite flying that day <br />So the boy grabbed his colorful kite and went on his way. <br /> <br />Now all his kite needed was a gust of wind to take to the air <br />He took the string and ran swiftly forth with no care <br />The kite soared up in to the sky like a theatrical display <br />A smile painted the lads face as he continued to play. <br /> <br />Hours passed by as he enjoyed watching his kite <br />It danced around the skies like a bird soaring in flight <br />Then a sudden lack of wind caused his kite to sail low <br />So the lad ran as fast as he could so his kite couldn’t slow. <br /> <br />One more time the lovely kite climbed up into the sky <br />The wind speed swished it back and forth to fly <br />How, the boy never wanted to see the sight come to end <br />Alas, all came to a stop at the corners bend. <br /> <br />Slowly the breeze died and the kite fell to the ground <br />The boy just stood and sighed without any sound <br />Sadly it was time to lay the grand kite to rest for today <br />He was tired and had no more energy left to play.<br /><br />Monica Engeler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/go-fly-a-kite-3/
