30th Pip

Kites, three of them,
straining at their strings
Spiralling, soaring
then suddenly slack and plummeting

Dogs, three of them,
straining at their leashes
Spinning, racing
then suddenly stock still and sniffing

Not sure which is easier to control
nor which more beautiful to behold
but I'm always grateful to land them safely back
and give my arms a rest.


Thanks to Ray Bethell for his inspiring kite-flying which came to mind as i walked the dogs today and inspired today's Small Stone (YouTube - Ray Bethell "Romancing the Wind")
