Listen to poem:

The stars beckoned her song to reach the crescent moon Awoken before the water serpents arise, and sea merchants sail in, from shores nearby At crack of dawn, and drawn to flickering lights night's natator of the bluest sea zigzagging through the starfish, caught in a seaweed beaded necklace tangled in nets sailors left adrift reaching the open prismatic sky A rainbow parrot fish tail flips over smoothed sea glass rock Multicolored moments, eyes dilate as lavender glows it blankets in silhouettes upon flowing strands of hair embracing the early morn with a sigh Mystified mermaid from deep underwater, thumping heart beats calm, in sync with the crashing wave as it trickles down A phenomenal crescent moon appears As a cool salty wash laps the rocky shore it recedes with sizzling sounds leaving pocket holes in the wet sand It calls with haunting cries She sings a siren's song

I can tell you were at the sea-side, like I was there dodging the incoming waves. The siren sounds are beyond haunting Anaya, they'll carry me into my dreams. Perhaps a little shy with the vocals, good job, I could tell your Gaelic muses were at your side. Enjoyed. My besti, Robert. PS. Thank you for the support on POTD! wink

It is a rocky seaside, low tide, yet the waves are as haunting as a sirens song . Practice I shall, for an audio I can share, it'll take a little more time, which I don't have too much of...Duty calls and I may have to take time out~ I wanted the siren song/music by the Sparks Brothers, from the movie Annette. A brilliant musical, stars Adam Driver . You are most welcome my dear poet, you're deserving of promotion three books! y e s an opportunity came up. ;D

I wished I were her, I just hope that Kingfisher bird doesn't bite at her tail! lol. I'm memorizing it and adding my voice, soon after a 100 x's of reciting it, it shall have a siren's song in the background. TYVM, dear Paula~ Take care of you
