But I Smile Anyway…

I received a challenge from the lovely Edwina, of Edwina’s Episodes for the Five Photos, Five Stories challenge

I’m about to invite you to join in a challenge I recently accepted. Five Photos, Five Stories. I thought this challenge could present you with the opportunity of viewing blogging from a different angle, to do something different, anything that suits you for that matter. It’s entirely up to you. …

There are some rules that go with it which are as follows:

The Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge rules require you to post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo.  It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or simply a short paragraph – it’s entirely up to you.

And at the end of each day, nominate one other blogger to take part.

So my first photo… And a poem to go with it!

That was close!

Oh kiddies, don’t they love to swing!

“Higher! Higher!” They constantly sing!

The look of joy upon their face

As the pushing picks up pace!

A photo moment of course, you think

And reach the front within a blink.

Forwards backwards, higher they go!

Camera’s ready…Click! Then whoa!

Busy focusing on their smile,

Edging closer all the while,

Until you realise that their toes

Jut very nearly reached your nose!

Today, I nominate Marti from Inventing Real Life. 

Don’t feel obliged to take part, but it’s a bit of fun! Hope you join in!
