The Swing’s Tempo

My poem here, was a response/comment to Jevannel’s positive article, >> https://jevannelacademy.com/just-a-random-entry/ , which I have slightly altered to create this verse





The Swing’s Tempo


Life is full of challenges

Living alone is a challenge

Life’s challenges are there to be hurdled

Don’t let the world bring you down


The trees of life have many branches

Choose your strongest branch

Attach a lullaby swing

And enjoy all the highs

And flow with the lows

Of the swing’s enchanting tempo

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.
