Leaving her blue salty home, she emerges from the sea changing her fish tail into human legs within the times of the full moon. Her bare figure exposed; long auburn tresses swaddles her frame as she walks silently on the sandy beach to dance like a maiden of charm. Reaching out to touch the wings of the seabirds as they cry breaking the silence of the moonlit night. Embedding and feeling every grain of sand between her toes, as waves ebbs, and flows behind; she waits in the hopes to purchase a glimpse of her lover not knowing within the ocean depth he and his ship rests at the bottom of the sea. 9/22/2019

Applause from me - such an engrossing write; I was spellbound by some of your imagery. I haven't an idea for this contest but your muse excelled in creativity. Good luck in the contest and all else, Eve. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
