   Two cute girls having fun on a swing in blossoming old apple tree ...

The duet of a garden's music in June, afloat with all the season's notes can bring... The milder one is where chant of orioles join honeyed air's refrain as dragonflies flip a spin to answer the humming pampas on the lawn. And how the mutter of a pond swishes around Grandma's flower beds where laughter wisps and sneakers squeak-- Then, the other one-- a more raucous tremolo; loud chuckles of youngsters pitching through hollers beneath white clouds yelling away for a doughnut fete, paired with alto voices of neighbors gabbing. But no matter-- this garden is our magical place to quench a thrill from romps far beyond skyscape's tapestry when hours wheeze by into this rhapsodic spring - duet... a cycle's buoyant grace pulsing on and on.

Beautiful composition and I somehow find a subtle similarity with Carol Anne Duffy in this poem of yours. It's rich and nostalgic and like the season playful yet deep... Development of these contrasts are essential to the spirit of this poem that you have so skilfully weaved
