A kite is a Kite I fly my words with paper strings. That turns the breeze on paper wings. Amongst the gold and blue and green. Held in folds of hues serene. I see them hobbled there in space. And seldom comes an upturned face. A thought, a wile, a dream of style A fantasy, a misty smile I am suspended in the rhyme. In floating brine in floating time A spirit on a phantom road And croaking like a wanting toad I ride upon this carpets swish. With humble food within my dish And stretch my hands out to the sky. To fly and fly and fly and fly I seek a net to stop my let. At least beget, a place to set. [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (02-18-2003 07:57 AM).] |

'I see them hobbled there in space. And seldom comes an upturned face. A thought, a wile, a dream of style A fantasy, a misty smile' Love kites. Used to fly them often, 'till a briar field ate them all. It was a horrible sight. Morning Sy!  |

Flying kites is a wonderful venture.. especially with you...  So - Are you planning to submit some of your work for book publication? Need/want any help doing that? I think we'd ALL love to see your poetry included in this book... Whatcha think, Sweet Sy?...  |

Seymour, I love to see you fly... whether it's a butterfly or a kite....  . . I've been looking for a book submission, too, from you... It certainly wouldn't be the same without our Mr. Seymour to grace the pages...... So.... . .Thank you, Seymour...... Hugs from Ethel |

Sy, In spite of some of the other more in-depth lines of this poem my favorites because they cause me to feel good are these two simpler ones: "and stretch my hands out to the sky, and fly and fly and fly and fly." Yes, I love those...as I do the entire poem. Thank you so much, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
