Swings and Roundabouts

A torrent of life,
Bursting like a bud in spring.
Face squashed to a smile,
Leading me with eager grip
To the see-saw and the swings.

Outstanding tanka...Reminds me of my daughter s eagerness tto go in the playingfield.May life be full of going up on that see-saw,and few of going down.

Thanks Charmaine. This is based on my own memories of taking my daughters to the playground and their unbridled excitement and sheer joy just swinging, sliding and see-sawing !
