Kite tail waves to all
Dips and soars in graceful flight
Airborne sky ballet

Spring breeze, kites and trees
Kite dances on the zephyrs
Tree waits to embrace

Colorful flyers
Kaleidoscopic vision
On sky blue canvas

Suspended on air
Familiar shapes with long tails
Child's laughter heard

Like a falling star
Kite descends in earthbound plunge
Ne'er to fly again

Wow, this was great. I really enjoyed this one.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Your imagery is perfect and the ending is so true so many times. I can hardly wait to fly another this year with my granddaughters.

These are your best ever! What beautiful images and exquisite composition of words! Bravo! The King of haiku reigns!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
