The Art of Swinging

Topic: Haiku



Outstretching my legs,
soaring to the cloud-filled sky,
flying with no cares

Awww in addition to beautifully depicting the art of swinging, you have managed to evoke some great momories for me, both on a swing and on a "merry-go-round" my Dad made for us.
Thank you, Heidi

Jenni

Ah, nice. You have captured that feeling of nostalgia very well in this short little haiku.

This is dreamy and perfect.
You just sent me back to swinging, Infact I do it still today every chance I get. Though nothing beats the old tire swing, or the swing that went off over the water either!

Thanks for the smiles
Michelle
