An Ambitious Kite Poem by Anna Mae Angana

One windy site,

Two kites are extremely excited for their first flight.

With a diamond body and an elongated tail.

Each boy holds their own kite.

Boys climb on a mountain top,

They throw the kite and release the string.

The two kites joyfully wiggle their tails.

Boys ran as fast as they can.

Higher, higher they uttered!

Up up the azure sky,

The two kites are dancing from up high.

From east to west,

North to south,

Up and down,

They sway and sway

Let the wind lead their way.

I noticed, one kite

that fly higher than the other kite.

It glides,

It wobbles,

Until it hits an electric wire.

The boy holding it shouted in dismay.

For he can no longer play,

While the other boy,

Still guiding his one humble kite.
