Hover Boy


Copied with permission from Sami Jo.
 

HOVER BOY!

I didn't take this picture! But the concept caught my eye.
A little boy who's very brave, pretending he can fly!
High up in a sky-scraper, on a strong transparent floor,
He can spread his arms and swoop straight up and hover there and soar.
The buildings way below him look exactly like small toys,
And he knows he is the envy of all other little boys.
I've changed it into monochrome because I liked it so.
I hope he likes my little verse! Thank you, Sami Jo.

Hi! Thanks for coming by and leaving your comment. Wow, this photo is simply astonishing! I can only imagine what one of my boys would have thought if they had the chance at that young age to "hover". How magical it must be to the little boy.

Really great photo and we become so enthralled with technicolor we forget the virtues of B/W, one of which is the subject is more important and identifiable.

Love the accompanying poem.

I know the seasons are upside down above and below the equator.

Oh, but I have enjoyed reading through your last few posts. Brave Hover Boy and the Lemon Drops...I want to be a Lemon Drop! Loved your words~differently occupied. It just fits what I have been doing this last year with blogging and all that comes with it.
And a smile for Postman Pat delivering across the ocean blue!

Fantastic! What a verse written about an emerging mind. It gave me a lift. I made me want to fly. Buz
