kite

One Single Impression prompt #227: Kite

As a young adult, I volunteered at an Audubon raptor rehabilitation center. I still have an abiding fondness for hawks, owls, kites, falcons, etc. despite their steely indifference to humans.

    This, of course, is not the sort of kite I expected--which makes it all the more delightful!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I read through your page and love all of your haiku. And I have a soft spot for birds of prey -- we have red tailed hawks here. http://hoofprintsinmygarden.wordpress.com/

    I really like that you added in the sense of sound drifting down from the sky.

    I too love raptors. Riding the thermals, the ultimate kite!
