0120 Child On A Swing Poem by Michael Shepherd
0120 Child On A Swing
playground
higher and higher
the swing squeaking, creaking
but firm
the child laughing
testing the limits of freedom
the freedom of limits
sensing but forgetting
the firm post on which it swings
firm as a parent's love
unmoving stillness
the child swinging
both held in love
for Skadi meic Beorh
I especially liked 'the freedom of limits, the limits of freedom.' Very visual for me.
hmmm... I like the comparison of the firm post to the parents love. Nice poem, Michael. dan
