Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Canopy Swing

One of my favorite places to be
is my bench swing with a canopy 
I swing and float in the air
Problems don't exist, they are no-where
My swing, faces the backyard and beyond
Sometimes rain puddles in the field, a pond
A train of clouds often travel the open sky
I lift my feet, while I watch them go by
The birds sing all around me 
Motion leaves me calm effortlessly
I could easily stay as time ticks by,
consumed by peace, oh my!

Gershon Wolf May 27, 2025 at 9:55 PM Amazing to me, how you can turn the world on and off, as if you have some kind of secret control panel that only you have key to, Heidi. ~ To and Fro, Gershon Heidi Sands May 29, 2025 at 12:21 AM Thank you Gershon. The world is wide open on right now, just had 2 emergency surgeries. In hospital.

CayCay Godwin May 20, 2025 at 10:58 AM With talent, you placed me on that swing where I took in / felt all your poems imagery. I don't want to get off the swing or the feeling to time-brush off me. CayCay Heidi Sands June 23, 2025 at 12:54 PM Thank you very much CayCay :)
