    but he wrote a clue-line verse for the occasion. Can you solve it?

    I know a trick to make kids soar like larks.
    Springtime is windy, ideal in the parks.
    Tethered to earth, and though trailing a tail,
    Each one endeavors to rise up and sail.
    Paper, scissors, sticks, and string win the day.
    Vasant Panchami is coming... Let's play!

    N. B. Each line in a clue-line verse provides a clue about the key word which provides the subject of the poem. The clue may be a preponderance of a particular letter, an obvious alliteration, an acrostic pattern, or other device. The last line in this poem is a dummy line to complete the couplet and contains no clue.
