Sunset Swinging
Listen to Lisa read her poem ...
I swing till my toes
touch the lavender sky.
I kick and I pump
and I fearlessly fly
over the rooftops,
higher and higher
as day disappears
with a last burst of fire.
touch the lavender sky.
I kick and I pump
and I fearlessly fly
over the rooftops,
higher and higher
as day disappears
with a last burst of fire.
