  1. "Manifest joy," is successfully conveyed through the fresh and effective jux. of [laughing children rolling] down the tree-house [curved] slide, Ls 2&3, and [warm] winter sunshine, as implied from L1.

    And it could be read as a sequel to my haiku below:

    tree house
    a ladder leading
    to the moon
