One of the things I love the most is swinging. :] I've always loved them and I think I always will, my Mummy still goes on them. :D
There is no right words to describe the feeling you get when swinging. Excited and Joyful don't quite cut it. Its both those and more, its a Thrilling Adventure, and (most importantly) a Journey in Poetry and Song.
Because very time I go on a swing I feel like singing, songs I've heard , songs that just pop into my head while swinging or I begin having poetry float about my head. Especially this old poem by Robert Louis Stevenson "The Swing"
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside--
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown--
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
Ta Ta Darlings!
