“Spring Rain and Kite Strings”
Inspiration piece

Kitestrings
By Kathleen Finn Jordan
Response

Kite strings like slings of stars

Wallop the hand and sting the sky

Air puffs and spits of wind

hand twirling as kite spins and twirls delighting the eyes of night

smell of sweet rain washed grass pilots the feet

running through the brush and bramble eyes upward thrilled by the dance

crickets chirp and dogs run free

trying to catch, trying to race, trying to capture

the magical form that tears through the sky and jumps, cavorts, teases

with Olympian skill

Kite strings… rainbow colored GPS of the air

Kite strings… unnoticed but essential to the airship that all are following

with smiles, expectations and thoughts of happiness and surfing the wind.
