 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,
Rivers 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!

Robert Louis Stevenson

For me, the best images are the ones I knew before I saw them, the best poems the ones written about my experiences, though I have and never will ever know the poet personally.

Positively gleeful. What a wonderfully captured childhood moment. I love the way you've made the words come to the forefront and then recede, mimicking the motion of the swing.

This is just delightful! The child's look of pure joy is FABULOUS! Definitely makes me remember when I thought that swinging on a swing was one of the best feelings in the universe :-)

Oh Wow! This is really awesome. I keep looking at it and am so amazed at how you made the words look so 3-dimensional. Without distracting in the least from that beautiful happy child!

Did I say Wow! I keep thinking it!
