April - Poetry Month - 2024, Day Eleven, Kite

    Happy Poetry Month!



If you'd like the poster, go here!
 


        I'm taking the advice from the poet who has given so much to help us all, including students and teachers, write poetry. I'll be moving from A to Z, obviously needing to combine a few to make it all come out to 30. FYI—Sometimes, Paul Janeczko offers a prompt to write a poem that begins with the specific alphabet letter instead of a poem type. It will be fun to be open to writing in all kinds of ways!

     Today's prompt - Kite


What A Kite Means

 

I wander around a lake

as the wind blows clouds

across the sky.

 

Geese fly in to shelter;

the duck pair I see often

huddle near the bank.

 

The other side holds

a playground – empty now,

and a runner leans into the wind.

 

An older man wearing a hoodie

stands alone in the field

flying a kite.

 

I wonder if he’s that young boy

still inside,

flying kites, then, too?
