A harvest of kites

A harvest of kites

Up on the terrace, they readied for a fight,
A toss, a few pulls, up went the kites

With greedy eyes, they followed her flight,
Kept that pretty one, in sight,

Suddenly the strings, entwined, just right,
A pull with might, a shout of delight

Then those urchins set off,through the narrow lanes, a sight,
To reap their yearly harvest of kites.
