This feels properly swoopy with a nice plum accent for this lovely word.

He started wobbly, paused constantly, tumbled a couple of times, but in an hour he was peddling down the straight away and making wide looping turns!

between bike sessions we went to the playground.
he’s always passive on the swings,
but not today, riding next to his sister.

I gave a good push
he extended his legs and exclaimed “sun”
and he folded them back, saying “bank”

— sun — bank
— sun — bank
— sun — bank
— sun — bank
— sun — bank

higher and higher!
he was finally swinging himself
with a mantra all his own.
