THE TIRE SWING
A poem by Zach McClure
He gazed across
The wind-swept meadow
To a lone tree
Standing there
Its jagged, silhouette
Surrendered ‘neath
A sky more firey embered
Than his flaming hair
Which crowned him then
But it was neither tree nor sky
That stole his youthful eye.
It was the tire swing
Whispering, promising,
“With-me, you can fly!”
The boy lept across the meadow
Like a deer panting for water,
Till at last
He climbed aboard his dream.
His round, black, holed
Flying machine.
Then, holding tight,
And bending to and fro
With all his might
Began to drive
Began to glide against
The sinking sun
Till it was night outside
Across the starry littered sky
Beneath the moon’s soft lullaby
Ascending ever higher
Make believing
He’s a flyer,
He smiles,
As he tips a wing.
He is an aviator.
He is the sky king!
And all because of one,
Old tire swing.

Thanks, Tiapam!
Linda loathes the rain. Especially the thunder and lightening. She howls and cries and jumps around in circles, and leaps up onto the bed and buries her face up against me.
Poor dear. I tried to explain to her that it is just the angels bowling, but she doesn’t buy it.
To: jaycee
Indeed...It is actually quite nice right now (a little breezy), but just right for gardening!
To: jaycee
That is such a beautiful Sunday graphic, JC! Thank you!
