Notes About The Poem

July 29, 2024, placed 1st in Andrea Dietrich's Tank-A-Crostic contest

 
             **************************************************************

SWING


Spring days, as a child,
While grasping the ropes tightly,
I soared heavenward. 
Now, decades later, I love
Gliding gently while I read.
