Kite


I can hear your girlish squeaks from above the trees

But cannot see you from my window

The crows and the blackbirds are aware

And are awaiting your next visit

You are the most feminine of birds

And the most timid by far

Lesser birds often chase you away

To the amusement of other creatures

Stick with the earthworms you are often told

Ignore your lofty ambitions

And learn from the high eagles

As they drift passively above the storm clouds
