It’s a poignant piece. The imagery is wonderful — I can almost feel the wind in my face, as if I was the child on the swing Quite lovely.

Thank you, Liz.

A great response to the challenge - it will be interesting to see where this takes you! This poem evokes such warmth and love!

Thank you, Susan. I, also, can’t wait to see where it takes me… it is so tempting to just sit down and write them non-stop..

You always make me think. Your short poem says so much.

I love that I make you think, because you always make me think as well, Gautami, thank you.

(((Marcia)))

Can I swing too? Such an innocent and beautiful image you've created.

Rose

Rose, you can swing, too. We all need to be in that innocent moment sometimes, I'm glad you found it a beautiful image, thank you!

One and one is three

What a great line Marcia.

Loved the visual of the swinging hands and the sky.

Brian, that is my favorite line of all time… I have thought it, said it, and written it in more than one poem attempt. So happy you like it!
