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!

The consistent rhyme scheme is impressive! I love the imagery and how free you can feel, just by reading this poem. What comforts you can heal others too. You've exemplified this.

A lovely way to pass the time of day, on a garden swing. Hope you recover well from your double surgery Heidi… Beryl

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

I agree, Heidi, this is a sweet poem. I especially like the line, "My swing faces the back yard and beyond."

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

When I was young I loved going on the swings. A delightful poem.
