The Red Kite, The Limp Flag & The Impaled Chair…
A red kite soared over Mattishall,
Where a flag had been loosely tied
Between two plastic chairs. Yet it sagged.
It hung with its lower edge dragged
Against lush grass and remained
Hidden behind spectators spectating,
As the red kite hovered before a valedictory fall…
The red kite banked above Mattishall,
Where a chair had been impaled
Horizontally by a wooden plank, weathered
And within its metal frame tethered.
Inside a dull shelter it remained,
Spurned by spectators spectating,
As the red kite circled with my eyes in its thrall…

At Mattishall FC’s football ground on 18th September 2021.
The kite seemed to be admiring the malfunctioning Heacham FC supporters’ flag and the remarkable chair inside the shelter/grandstand…
Loved it at Mattishall, as the red kite appeared to also…
