Swinging on a Swing Hello: My 11 year old Grandaughter Caitlin has been reading my poetry on my web site. Two weeks ago she emailed me and said she had 2 lines of a poem and could I help her with the next line. I emailed her back and told her we would write a poem together. So with her 2 lines I sent her 2 more and she sent me 2 back. Over the past 2 weeks we exchanged lines without discussing each others lines. This is the combined effort via email. I am very proud of her and we hope you enjoy this little piece. Swinging on a Swing That little freckled faced girl Her brown hair full of curl As she flew through the air Ruffles on her skirt would whirl Swinging on a swing Singing without a care The melody so sweet Ribbons fluttering in the wind Nearly touching the ground with bare feet Swinging on a swing Those big blue eyes With them my heart she buys What a darling is she Such a beauty to see Swinging on a swing That little girl holds the key That unlocks my heart And when she is grown In sadness I must let her depart Swinging on a swing Out in the big world All alone My heart warms just to know After years she still loves me so Swinging on a swing Caitlin Avery Salyer Edwin J.
