Colourful kites soar

Lifting lagging spirits high

Winging heavenwards…

There’s something inspiring and liberating about flying kites… although it can be frustratingly stressful at times!

    Kites are such a vibe—soaring high, lifting spirits, and making you feel free! Even with the struggle, it’s all worth it when they catch that perfect breeze and glide. Loved it! Dear🤗✨

    Beautifully done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

  • I’m so sorry to hear about your struggle with OCD, Spinstress. It’s such a misstereoyped and misunderstood disorder. I have a very closed loved one battling it right now. A medication switch, an OCD specialist, and a Biblical counselor have all been helpful but it’s still a daily struggle that’s exhausting and overwhelming.

    I enjoyed this. The last line of your note reminded me of my husband accidentally taking a kid out on the beach. We've never flown a kite since 😂

    I LOVE a kite! I'm always drawn to them when I see them being flown. We used to fly them as kids on our farm. Bloody irritating when they came down but awesome when up in the air! Loved this!

  • My impatience could never deal with flying a kite, lol. Loved your Haiku!

    I loved flying kites when I was a kid. Your Haiku brings back pleasant memories of the sensation of the string tugging on my fingers as the kite rocketed up into the sky. Great and original challenge entry, Angie!
