Swing in tritina...

dVerse Poets Pub
                                   
Suggested by the talented poets at dversepoets.com
an exercise in a form frequently by poet, Marie Ponsot.
It's a Tritina and its verses go ABC,CAB,BCA...with a capsule sentence 
for line ten.  Not easy for we amateurs...  
Let me have it people...
..my poetry can only improve...;-)

There is nothing like flying high on a swing
hang tightly to the ropes bending legs low
to the ground and the elation it brings in springtime

Breathing fragrant air I lose track of time
Contented I am anchored in a homemade swing

counting blessings each time I soar high or dip low

Children laugh and squeal as they rise and look below
My mood is more on even keel those times
when I'm gaily swinging in a swing

Make time to swing low in your chariot..
