| Written for the Pilgimage to Obernewtyn transport competition in Moonfair 2010. Tied 1st place. Ariel's Helicopter The Beforetimers loved their steel machines Some allowing them to fly To the moon and to the stars Or simply through the sky This machine I found and have repaired (With no little skill) Is that they once called Helicopter Fly now with me, if you will With beating blades we lift above The land and those it holds Diminishing as we soar far past Stream ribbons and hill folds Above the mountains, sharpened peaks Cold with ice and snow Above the marsh- and forest-lands Coating the ground below In that bowl of blue, the sky above Where only birds now roam Those vast and airy reaches Feathered beasts call home Now I join them in their realm High above the earth Taking my rightful place above Those of lesser worth The Beforetimers failed, their time is past I now rise where once they fell Who is your guide? You may well ask My name, is Ariel |
