Phase Two: Collaborative Poem

Location: Pooley Country Park - In the playground near the visitors' centre.
KITE
Bright, right, flowing, vast friendless wind,
breezing swiftly, silent, bounteous airy stream,
charms a secret fluttering shimmer,
catch my tails, feather sway,
in grand, elegant, majestic lift
you carry me to run away.
I dither in unsure waves,
need to calm my soaring,
swaying glimmer, ‘til voila! Floating free
I am swift to rise,
waving, looming diamond, gaining height,
twinkling toward the graceful peaceful calm.
In charming glide I follow you,
then watch you skip to arctic shores, alone.


A collaborative poem by Malcolm Dewhirst and the Year 3 pupils at Birchwood Primary School 2011.
