Through Your Eyes

Caught in a fisherman's net the frightened mermaid stared, unblinking. Iridescent eyes shone like pearls, powerful mesmerizing. Under her spell he granted her freedom. 6/11/2015

What a lovely story-poem, Laura! Many fishermen/sailors are said to have been charmed by mermaids. Glad yours got her freedom back:)

Great descriptive piece. I could see the mermaid trapped. It was also good to see the little mermaid gain her freedom. Good luck in the contest:)Alexis

Oh, I see you chose the same Visual as me. Can't help using that word 'mesmerizing' because that is exactly what they are! I loved your entry Laura! GL in the contest. I am sure this will do well.

Yes, the "mesmerizing" word is hard to miss with this particular visual! Thanks for your kind words and good luck in the contest :)
