The poem Jhoola depicts the tender emotions of the children. The poem is about a child who asks his mother to swing him higher so that he rises and touches the sky and also plays with the clouds swirling in the sky. The poet sees that the branches of trees are also swaying along. The joy of the swinging takes the child on an aspirational journey, swinging to Calcutta and sometimes Delhi. The poet describes the emotions of the children who love to swing and play with imagination.
