As Free As Can Be

Swimming
          Sea otter
Ancient Sea Turtle
          Through ever shifting
Emerald and aqua waters
Overhead
          Spinning crazy circles
Ebony seagulls
           With violet eyes
I leap from the water
           Dolphin that I am
I laugh with the pure
           Unfettered joy of being alive
Around me
           Sea lions
                        Roar
Powerful as the pounding surf
                   And I
          Unfurl my ivory wings
Feathered Unicorn that I am
          I sail up into the diamond studded atmosphere
Free as freedom can be
          No chains to hold me back
At last - I can be me!

Playful, dynamic and fanciful. A nice one, Aurora

I like the images in this poem, enjoyed the playful and hopeful feel of this. It was a joy to read!

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A very fun and carefree poem. Freedom brings great joy. We would be wise to protect our freedoms instead of willingly giving them away. Excellent writing!

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, how divine are your descriptions! I really like this one Tina! I can just see the colors, and creatures on your canvas as you pain on your words of poetry!
Lovely!!

[Star Wolf]

This is rather playful in one way and glorious in the freedom expressed at the conclusion. I love the ocean imagery in this. A very enjoyable poem indeed!
