Swing Set Reverie
A Sky-ku
Toes tickling the sky,
Might I grow some wings to fly,
If I just let go?

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Whew boy! As children, many of us thought about it. Flight is exhilarating and you captured that in this sky-ku. Best of luck in the challenge!
I love this feeling DK, swinging and having that split second of wanting to be airborne!! Brilliant entry for the challenge!!
I've been blanking on ideas for this one DK, but the swing is a great one! Feels daring and optimistic:)
Simply adorable. I can feel my childhood in this. 😁
Oh, I just love the sense of curiosity and freedom in this, DK! Exquisite!
Very cute! I’ve always loved swings & the sensation of flying 😃.
Oh, I swear I felt my heart soar!
I've always had this thought while I was on the swing. Miss those days. Loved your Haiku!
Oh my! The sweet, sweet kiss of childhood dreams. You rocked my boat with this one, DK!
Love this take on the challenge! Best of luck 🤞
Great one!
I love this! What a wonderful haiku. It makes me miss the simple days!
From experience, yes, but not very far and you want to be sure to stick the landing. 😉 Love the childlike innocence.
Yep you probably will.
Playful and curious at the same time. Lovely work!
You got to hope so! I loved the swings. Now, I'm a bit like Shaun.
Awwww, takes me back. Now I just get seasick. A very sweet haiku
