Swinging in the dark

Swinging

Swinging in the dark...
You sit on the swing
Back & Forth, gently
it is dark
you are alone
Back & Forth, gently
watching the world
pass you by
Back & Forth, gently
lovers walk
hand in hand
Back & Forth, gently
it is dark
and
you are alone

  2. Reminds me of times when I did something like that but it was so long ago I had forgotten.

    Thanks for your visit to my Pick a Peck of Pixels blog and for your comments there about my illustrations.

  4. Mac: At the park / in the dark
    swing we will / for the thrill
    fun to feel / on the hill
    from the tree / it must be.

  5. Oh, is that a swing? I thought you got your kite stuck in a tree.

    The poem is a little melancholy, but sometimes I relish those moments of solitude.

  6. Swinging in the dark - had me imagining you throwing your car keys into a bowl. :)
