| Posted by David R Spellman on 01/06/04 at 04:15 PM Great symbolism here of the passing of youthful dreams and expectations. The use of different angles - flowers grounded and kites flying adds much, especially when brought together by them both falling, withering and forgotten. Very well done. |

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 01/06/04 at 06:33 PM There are so many lessons that can be gleaned from this verse. The one that touches me the most is the impermanence of those things that are loved so intensely. Thank you for sharing this. |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 01/08/04 at 03:54 PM Colorful symbolism perhaps of aspirations and dreams that do not make it though vivid at first! Their beauty in just being even though brief their stay. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 04/06/07 at 02:24 PM I love the "you", the "i", and the "we" of this. The imagery is terrific - the describing of childlike activities in an adult experience. |
