The poem describes how a kite looks bright and new in the sky when first flown. It dives and dips through the air, then soars like a ship with only a sail, riding the tides of wind. When the wind falls, the kite takes rest. To get it flying again, the string is wound back until a new breeze blows and fills its wings, lifting it back up into the sky. Over time, a kite becomes ragged looking as it flaps in the top of a tree on its string.

2. POEM :
How bright on the blue
Is a kite when it’s new !
With a dive and a dip
It snaps its tail
Then soars like a ship
With only a sail
As over tides
Of wind it rides,
Climbs to the crest
Of a gust and pulls,
Then seems to rest

3. As wind falls.
When string goes slack
You wind it back
And run until
A new breeze blows
And its wings fill
And up it goes !
How bright on the blue
Is a kite when it’s new !
But a raggeder thing
You never will see
When it flaps on a string
In the top of a tree
HARRY BEHN
