Jenna Logan Poet Suzette Prime

Daughters of Poseidon

imagine
what fantastical wonders 
besides the fish
swim in realms of oceans deep
with fantails that swish

when the full moon is glowing 
like a treasure chest of shiny gold doubloons
and starlight brightens the sea
mermaids will be found
smiling as they dance in rhythmic reverie

their giggles create bubbles 
in pearlescent hues
while the scalloped scales 
on their tails
gleam in shades of greens and blues

aquatic maidens 
Poseidon's lovely daughters
twirl and pirouette
beneath crystal clear waters

their haven
lies near a tropical shore

may they reign
there forever more

Gershon Wolf January 10, 2021 at 3:34 PM The rhythm and rhyme in the first and third stanzas is just out of this world good, Jenna! Beautiful verse! G.L. in the contest! :) gw Jenna Logan January 11, 2021 at 3:03 AM Thank you so much, GW. It seems I got the 3rd verse right. I'm so glad you pointed out what you liked best, like David.

David Kavanagh January 10, 2021 at 2:33 PM Class act Jenna, that third stanza so imaginative, creative, I must show my daughter this one, she’s fascinated with the little mermaid, you really should start sending a taste of your poems, to Disney scriptwriters, if you haven’t already done so, I would love to hear a professional narrator read them in a movie, cheers David. Jenna Logan January 11, 2021 at 3:01 AM aww thank you, David. Ariel is one of my favorite Disney princesses. I hope your daughter enjoys my poem, and no, I haven't thought of sending them anything I've written. Your compliment is good enough.
