Mermaid

Silver flashes through ocean swells
sound ripples across the water
strolling the moonlight kissed water
surrender to nights sensual promise
foam breaks, mermaid soars resplendent
cobalt teal diamond skin shimmers
powerful tail propelling her way
phosphorescence trails behind
sea sparkles flitting in her wake
face startles, finely dotted aqua spots
thick lips pout, fierce, predatory
fiery orange and red markings
warrior lines swirling, cheek to neck
swims towards me, I’m awestruck
daggered teeth, transfixed
purple searing eyes, allured
flips mid-air, veers away to plunge deeply
her tail douses me in sea water
I laugh and marvel
savage beauty of the sea
silver flashes through ocean swells

Kurt Ravidas Date: 10/14/2019 4:14:00 PM That's just how I imagine mermaids: not thin beauties but strong and fierce valkyries of the sea. Good luck in the conest, Georgia. Login to Reply Georgia Kereopa Date: 10/15/2019 4:42:00 AM Yes, I like Valkyrie of the sea Kurt
