Hemmed In Feminine

Scale mosaic tail lays gracefully draped over rock Sumptuous hip width to skin graduates Saturated waist trailing tendrils touched by moss Silk mermaid nautical languor eminates Sorrow in inhibit, love's absence induces her sobs Vanguard calmly addresses the depths with probe Weaving seemlessly amongst seaweed Gentle marina mistress, Clementine reserves hope For a qualified merman, in love succeed Tugged subtly by tides of princely promises flowed Spell of solo exploration doesn't tarnish bright fins Siren inspired by increasing innate talent Sanguine supple lovely needn't gun for yang to yin Suitor to exceed her calibre, most haven't Shown aptitude for brave compassion, closest kin Clam fan covered curves retain an untainted heart Slender arms open troves old tides buried Gracious Clementine stays patient for Cupid's dart Pleasant peaks of top lips drip salt, selfish Lungs unemcombered by blunder summons laugh Tinkle bells bemused chortle across vibrant pearls Heightened by judicious standpoint jubilee Felicious pageant entrant in a fish tail gown swirls Heavy gems adorn torso tight with chastity Air orgasmed chest of benevolent treasure unfurls 16th February 2021 Entered into Charlotte Peddifoot's Open Poetry Contest

this is a stunning tour de force of language and i very nearly placed it in the top three, but just wondered if it was maybe a little adjective-heavy(?) nevertheless it's an excellent poem - congrats on your win in my contest :)
