The Soul’s Harlequin The mask of parenthood is on my face Severe, strict, without compassion But I feel a tingle crawling up from my toes Slowly finding its way up my spine Changing into high waves of pleasure Towards my mouth, where crystal bubbles Burst into the air, spreading sounds of a grin Inviting for more, larger bubbles The soul’s harlequin is playing Twinkling stars appear in my eyes And rainbows explode alll around me While the sun bursts out on my face There’s no escape from this escapee I’m lost in seas of laughter Roaring laughter fills the air Conquering all emotions but one The soul's harlequin is playing Munda  |

wow! some piece of work... it's graet! it took me a while to get it...had to read it twice to get the flow...know what i mean...but it was simply beautiful... If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light... Avanti Rao |

Told ya you could do it...nice images! I really love the idea of us having a playful clown within our souls. Great concept! Kris the poet's pen...gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name ~ Shakespeare |

The "Soul's Harlequin" - that little devil... He can have his way with us, can't he???.. This is very cute, Munda.. I can picture you trying to teach your kids a very important lesson and being so amused on the inside that you can barely keep a straight face... We've all experienced that one... I like your rendition...   |

Hi Munda, Where did you ever come up with this idea. It is such a light, playful piece one simply has to read it more than once to fully appreciate it. Well done, Pete |

Munda: I enjoyed this. I find myself, too often, unable to hold back my laughter when playing the stern, parental role when the kids are just so darned cute. Thanks, Munda. Jim |

Thanks guys for reading and replying.  To my own surprise I wrote a free verse ! LOL Who would have thought I'd ever do that ! Pete, the idea came from a limerick from my epic.  Without laughter you don’t truly live You will only receive what you give Laughter comes from within It’s the soul’s harlequin To bring smiles on a face is a gift |
