Author's Note: This is a response to my favorite book, The Kite Runner, this is one of my favorite scenes but I wrote it different. I wrote it from the point of view of a bystander not the boys friend. Enjoy!
A lone kite flies in the baby blue sky
like a lone bird soaring overhead
a child watches, waiting
waiting for it to cut loose
The blue kite is almost lost
in the blue surrounding it
the wind whipping it this way and that
another kite takes action
A string cut loose
the blue kite flies with the wind
the young boy runs
running for the kite
The boys friend follows moments later
only to find that his friend
his brother, his servant
is no longer the same
the kite runner
This is a really beautiful piece! The voice and words paint a perfect picture into your head...really well done!
ReplyDeleteIt shows change so well. I think I am going to read the Kite Runner, because you like it so much, and this really good!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really amazing piece! I like your detail, it really paints a clear picture in your head. Also the book seems really good too, what's it about?
ReplyDeleteI love how soothing the voice was in this piece. I enjoyed this piece a lot and I hope to read the book sometime. It sounds very interesting. I don't know if I would want you to change this entry as I love it so much already.
ReplyDeleteThe one day that you told me what the story was about and showed me this piece, I really didn't pay that much attention. But once I read it again on here, I realized how much that friend of the boy must be going through. Nice job
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! and Claire, the books about a child who lived in Afghanistan before everything started to go bad. When the kid was twelve, everything in his life changed and he is a child who really suffered. this is an amazing book even though it's so sad. This is my favorite book because you start to understand why people live with regrets for so long. it's definately a book i recommend for anyone but it can get a little disturbing and graphic sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good poem, and you used good voice in it! This book sounds really good but sad!
