9. INTRODUCTION The poem describes a kite and its different actions. The poem compares the kite with a ship and also describes how bad it looks when it is torn.

10. The kite looks bright when it is new. It flies high and rides on the waves of wind like a ship. It goes up and falls down with the wind. You have to wait till wind is there again. When a kite is trapped on a tree, it looks very poor and helpless. (SUMMARY)

11. POEM 3: THE KITE The Kite How bright on the blue Is a kite when it’s new! With a dive and a dip It snaps its tail Then soars like a ship With only a sail As over tides Of wind it rides, Climbs to the crest Of a gust and pulls, SUMMARY: A kite looks bright in the sky when you fly it, if it is new. It dives like a child from a chair on the floor or a swimmer in the swimming pool. The kite dives or plunges into the air when it is high up the sky. It also takes a dip as if in water. Just as devotees takes a deep in a holy river, the kite takes a dip in the air. Due to the wind, its tail keeps flapping. Then it flies high as if a ship riding on waves of sea. The kite rides on the waves of the wind. You may find the pattern of wind waves in the sand of a desert. Then the kite climbs on the top of the strong wind and pulls its string upwards. As if a monkey climbs the top of the tree, the kite climbs the strong wind.

12. POEM 3: THE KITE Then seems to rest As wind falls. When string goes slack You wind it back And run until A new breeze blows And its wings fill And up it goes! SUMMARY: Then as the wind stops blowing, it falls down as the thread gets loose. You have to wind the thread back and wait breeze starts blowing again. Then it would go up in the sky again. Its wings gets filled with the wind..

13. POEM 3: THE KITE How bright on the blue Is a kite when it’s new! But a raggeder thing You never will see When it flaps on a string In the top of a tree. HARRY BEHN SUMMARY: And it looks new in the sky again. But it looks so miserable when it gets trapped on the top of a tree and gets torn. It keeps flapping on a string.
