KIS

Kites fly high, gliding through turbulent winds and clear skies
Expressive lovers display their affection, regardless of season or setting
Excitement ensues in two kids as they play tag around tall trees
Purple flower petals do a dance on the rough asphalt

Indoor voices are all that surrounds in an outdoor setting
Time pauses as a flock of birds soar up and away

Sweetness and its lingering feeling is in the air
I deem myself blessed to have seen such a sight
My heart beats and cherishes this moment of pure happiness
Pessimists don't stand a chance in this atmosphere
Lovers prove to be contagious
Elation is the only solution

I took quite awhile writing this one.  I had an idea in my head, fixated on a word, then a motto I told myself I'll try to follow this year.  I had to come up with a phrase and then write an acrostic poem out of it.  I decided on "Keep It Simple" and out came this poem inspired by this past time in January when I was at a park, observing and soaking every sight and person around.  It made my heart long for that memory instantaneously.
