Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite
Cheeky Missy said:
In the rarer instances where a kite was my vehicle, dipping, diving, soaring, flying, the heavier motions of pride and greed were lost to the higher regions of purer air whose essence knew not such base notions. That was also the occasion where my newly acquired baby doll had her face totally squashed in while my back was turned, by the heat of the sun, allegedly, and after that I only remember the subsequent amusement of too many years later when the minor truths rectified that in style. Your characteristic rendering so charmingly culling these same sensations, tis regrettable the Phoenix won\'t remain on the menu indefinitely. Intriguing with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy, thank you for sharing.

Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite
Tristan Robert Lange said:
I can relate to this. The feeling of once wanting to soar, to fly...but life has beaten and weathered one down to the point of limply stumbling, or chaotically skipping along the ground as one tries to haphazardly take flight with little ability, let alone desire, to soar anymore. That, at least, is what I got out of it, anywho. Well done, my friend. ❤️

A fine metaphorical write Neville. Our skies are often frequented by red kites and magnificent they are too. A few days ago they were swooping down on the flat roof of our garage. Most unusual as they are carrion birds. There was plenty of bread and other birds there, quite a disturbance. I also thought of childhood and kite flying. I travelled with your words which can be read many ways, but unmistakably with an air of darkness. Light and shadow, always much to think about. Lovely.

Child\'s toy or bird was the first question. You are playing with my mind again Neville. Love the line (sky hungry kite) I envision it taking bits out of the sky The eclipse and the shadow now starve me in metaphor. Here I stumble around looking for explanation and indeed in this one you have eclipsed me and left me in shadow and yes I doubt there will be any resurrection soon. This is full of too many possibilities my friend you have got me. It could even be seen as a plus eighteen if you want to push it that far.

Love wrapped in poetry. Metaphors that are a metaphor. He and she involved in the \"silly old game.\" Maybe it\'s the way she \"looks,, walks, or \"plays\" That gets the \"Game\" started, and it ends at the end of your last line. Oh my, what a joy. Loved it, - Phil A.

A very entertaining write exploring do we look to much into what people have said or do we not value them when we should, or we just take them at face value and get on with our life, enjoyed the read

How titillating, word play, like foreplay excites with expectations, seductively luring one in with mental masturbation. Oops too much too fast . A fun but also deep probe at how much should we read into things. Find myself guilty of this all the time I think I may be doing it now.

My sentiments exactly… either too serious or held in so little regard, hardly ever just right on the words that I spout… it’s much like the art and skill of reading a room… but graced by poetry’s loom. 🙏🏻🕊

Isn\'t that what poetry is know for? Creating new words, how many did Shakespeare create? Sometimes one can not get enough of a good thing. A very nicely worded poem with great lines from the very first sentence that sets the tone and is so nicely enriched and completed in the last line. This poem has no loose ends. Very nice Neville
