KItes

Just wrote a few lines on kites . Makar Sakrant is a kite festival widely celebrated all over India marking the beginning of spring .

A palette of colors in the deep blue sky

Thousands of them soaring high

Along with wind and beyond trees

Aiming for the clouds it seems

Tied merely to a string

With the birds they sing

Until they come crashing down

Sure all that rises must fall

Their little flights have taught us all

Ambereen,

Delightful showing writing. "Their little flights have taught us all." Nice summation.

Nice work it says that we can all reach and become what we want to become within our lives. And I adore you picture way better then mine. It has a Edgar Allan Poe essence to it as if it came formed from 'The Raven'

Festivals of note mark seasons' turnings worldwide. Each are unique to their lands' people and thoughts. We so accept the happenings where we live that we forget or even never realize they may just be our own.

Even something as simple as flying a kite can teach us life lessons. Well done.
