The Kites on the tree

What happens

When kites get stuck,

Entangled on a branch?

At first there are attempts

Rescue might be sought.

A long bamboo pole

Could be enough to reach

But not release that

Which is stranded.

And the string, as the beating

And the shaking go on,

Make loops and eyes

And fastens tight.

And there is crying and despair

But that too will not make

The kite any more free.

So in the end, the kite is left

Fluttering in the cold wind ,

Until night, when the kite-eater comes.

After that, it’s all a matter of seconds.

What bamboo poles and pulling

And twisting and shaking and finally crying can’t do - the kite eater does with joy.

After the meal , he sits at the top and

Picks at his teeth and smacks his lips

In satisfaction.
