Ariel and "The Tempest" … 1506-2k14

Cavort spin from side to side
puff away in my minds eye
careless from all time I bide
swirling robes like incense I
Happy happy with the air
flip and flick my cherub hair

tap gargoyle here steeple there
soar above to swoop below
from fairy castle to demon’s lair
along the moat with water flow
smile smile at natures done
free am now in so much fun

whisper day to tawny owl
buzz like bees in his ear
shriek to fluster water fowl
scatter all in alien fear
giggle giggle at this my life
forget all pain of boarded strife

tweak petals of forget-me-nots
lullabies hum like flowing brooks
soothe the babies in their cots
wink and nod at side long looks
bliss bliss it appears to me
so happy I to be thus free

sip some nectar here and there
dust the stamens of yon flowers
nod to doves, in a cooing pair
flit and turn in shady bowers
merry merry on a grassy sling
what delight doth freedom bring

on bat’s winged back I fly
toss in air then slowly glide
amid flowery baskets happy lie
world my oyster opens wide
free! free! at last I sing
tulips daisies, bells ring

P.S.
The, all engrossing, happiness of ‘Ariel the sprite’,
Release from bondage by prospero.
As understood by a student of Shakespeare, in "the tempest"

Tasleemaat DocSaahab!! Apologies for the late entry.... reason being ..was not familiar with the subject the poem is penned about... so wouldn' have been able to understand, appreciate and enjoy your gift of pleasure here!!

Firstly ... Ariel's joy and the depiction in your poem ..takes us on the very magical journey... which if ...could have been expressed via a movie wouldn' have done the same justice as your words do here Sir!!

Thank You for taking us on this pleasure ride Sir!! Most importantly ...Welcome Back after such a long absence.......
