unforeseen and out of character
when you released me
i soared high; i spun
shimmer saunter, aloft
taunting tassels at the sun
.
rainbow shadow skipping over ground
chase it, heed the fluttering sound
rich reveries release
and a polish on palm remained
friction fused memories
a scar there ingrained
plastic tattered trailing
crucified on splintering frame
to soar and dip
in giddy refrain
.
predisposed to lure of flight
spiral of slackening string
i am a kite
You captured it beautifully!!! Makes you want to fly high with it….catch the wind and soar!

Is Absentia close to Lithuania or perhaps Albania…:) ?

Wow! I’m happy to see your post today. 🙂 It’s been a while. What happened my beautiful Diana? I missed your presence here even though I’ve been having skeletal moments here too. Nice to see you again. 🙂

Skeletal moments! Great way to describe our fleeting online moments. Oh sweet Stella, life distracts and fills our attentions happily it seems. Sunrises, and dusk moments and all the wonderful vignettes and people in between. I hope you are as content as I …. and less guilty (I’ve been so neglecting WP!) 💜💜

You brought me the warmest colours in glazed paper through your words… I can’t even describe what this made me feel…so serene, so beautiful! Life’s good when I read you, dear Armadillo! ❤😘💜
You made my day with your messages and my month with this. Such an awaited and adorable piece!
Heart aloft and happy thoughts descend,
with lofty thoughts from a loftier friend! Hehe.

Your enduring, and endearing support I never take for granted dear Ishu … it seems no matter how occupied you are, you still make time to acknowledge the plodding feet of a sluggish Armadillo. Disoriented and stomping on spring blooms I might say haha
The warm colours of the glazed paper (as you so beautifully spoke) float higher because of your attention. Happy Day to you from afar …. which isn’t far at all: a place in your very heart ❤

Such a fun poem! I have never been able to fly a kite. I really do believe it takes a knack of some sort. I do hope the weather is good there given your warm clothing, I wonder. Take care.

Dear Renee, how lovely to hear from you…. and I might hasten to add, Happy Spring from North of the Border. I should really change my profile shot: the West coast has experienced a seemingly overnight transition to blossoms and tulips! It’s almost time for a nice love poem or three with spring in the air don’t you think 🙂 Are you feeling inspired by the season of reawakening?

That is a beautiful metaphor – it was pleasant surprise when you mentioned the kite and then it made such perfect sense. Only you could do this so uniquely so beautifully!
