I'm guessing it means the writer had a good time and time seemed to go very quickly.

It is poetic, and poetry is art.
Like all art, its interpretation is in the mind of the viewer.
Can you visualize what is happening here?

trip - to run and jump playfully, like a child
rosy - the color rose is associated with happiness and cheer
wings - like a butterfly, floating and flying

WHAT IS IT IN A SENTENCE????

Heard recently to describe the first of the 2020 election debates.

I thought that it was another way to say, "That's messed up."

You can not trip while on the wing, it was a mistake/a contrary simile, by the author. so my English teacher said.

As for it's poetic value, yes it wins some kudos.
