Poet Beth "Batyah" Elishevah Ginzberg expresses her creative poetic meditations about water as a very powerful atmospheric element of the environment. Ginzberg wrote these poems at the East Rogers Park Lake Michigan Beaches, on-the-spot, to experientially convey the full effect of the Great Lakes of Chicago, IL USA for your reading pleasure.

KITES FLYING LIKE BIRDS ON THE BEACH


Stepping out my front door onto the golden dry windy sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, surprised to see colorful floating kites everywhere in the sky! An Air and Water Show! Like angels made out of thin paper, in wonderful creative designs they fly!

Pulling back on the cord, the kites will fly higher and higher! Wind whistling through them like sails, speedily flapping long tails tied with bows, heaving back and forth, they lift up and catch a drift and then dive down, searing and scraping the cloudy blueness, like paper airplanes.

Blue ones, red ones, yellow ones, multi-colored kites. Happy children flying kites, responsible parents teaching them how.

Whoops! A kite string snapped, broke in two! The kite is now free and up with the wind flying further and further away, and now having its independence, a life of its own, to venture out wherever the breeze takes it to go. The kite is free, freedom takes it far away to travel to the ends of the earth!
