Mermaids Fancy

dreams
mermaids
stirring to life
in every man's
imagination
churning
spurring
raw whimsy
gleam and charms
'neath wanton
magic of
blue moon

Reason A. Poteet Date: 8/23/2019 8:09:00 AM Enjoyable read, imaginative (raw whimsy). I have asked "How Many Syllables" why they count a dash as a syllable (not a hyphen but a mark to emphasize what follows). I've heard them called em dashes. They didn't respond, as yet.

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/3/2019 10:53:00 PM Yes, those mermaids sure do stir 'raw whimsy,' … Here's a little levity for you: The first time through, instead of 'whimsy,' I read 'whiskey.' Pretty absurd, I suppose. :) gw Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 8/3/2019 10:57:00 PM LOL that's fodder for a sequel.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 8/3/2019 12:48:00 PM I wonder why...too long at sea ;) Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 8/3/2019 1:39:00 PM It's a mystery, Kim.
