watching the kite flying

High as a Kite

by Wendy Rappeport

She is 'as high as a kite.'
Soaring through the air,
Climbing up to the heavens,
And diving again, plunging down
On a parabola of perfection.
Swing back down in graceful excitement,
In glorious harmony
With the currents of air,
I sighed and watched,
Waiting for her to descend.
I didn't know it, but it seemed correct
To grab a line and haul her in,
Like a dancing fish,
Covered in droplets from the sea.
I expected a huge crash
When she came down
But no, she kept on flying,
On and on, flying high and hovering
On undulating bursts of wind in the sky,
Dipping and plunging down,
Rising high again,
There was no kite string to pull her in
Until she was ready
She would sail in the heavens,
As high as a kite.

Writing Prompt
Similes and metaphors welcome! But make it unique! Stay away from cliched comparisons and think outside the box. (Opps. That was a cliche wasn't it?) Let's hear your most thought provoking observations and parallels. Make our minds work, but make the relationship clear. Refrain from drawing unusual comparisons and leaving them unexplained.
(A poetic format is preferred, but if you feel your particular metaphor would be better suited to prose that is perfectly okay as well.)
Happy imagining!
