A Boy and his Kite ~ NaPoWriMo Day 15

A Boy and His Kite, Kashi (old Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh, India

A narrow street
An ancient town
A boy and his kite
Off to play
An ancient game

I an old man
Feel the joy inside
Paper and sticks
Ribbon and string
Dance in the wind

I become again
A boy and his kite
Just for a moment
But the moment
Is good

A Boy and His Kite
Kashi (Old Varanasi)
Uttar Pradesh, India

NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025

Day 15 … oh, the enlivening joy of youth.

What is NaPoWriMo? National Poetry Writing Month.  AKA GloPoWriMo for Global Poetry Writing Month because, you know, it’s a worldwide event. During the month of April, poets challenge themselves to write at least one poem a day, every day, for the entire month. So, 30 poems in 30 days.

If you’d like to join in, or just want to learn more about this annual poetry writing event, the more-or-less official website is NaPoWriMo.net.

I am also one of the admins for a small, private FB group, NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025 if you want to follow other poets on their journey. Just click “Join”.
