Swinging On Memories

stopped along the road
     to synthesize a poem
             a feathery mimosa
     honeysuckle vine
          entwined my mind with its scent
 the sweetened sapling of youth
     the flutter of faeries
          and butterflies on wild rose
I’m swinging on memories
held tight, wild hair asunder

What's more comfy than a hammock, more daring than a trapeze, more fragrant than a bouquet of flowers? -- Why it's K.R. swinging on those sweet memories! Perfect penning, my friend! :) Gershon
