Beneath an orange sky and huge rainbow, Mestor, free spirited son stops the flow over his dad Poseidon, God of the sea, rift widen climbs upon his narwhal, puts on a show. Setting off with bounding leaps through the waves. Sunlit shafts shine in bright gleaming locks laves beams, the beast travels full speed. A fine beast a wreath of reed around its neck towards Atlantis caves. Mestor's unfearing icy blue eyes gaze upon a dazzling mermaid saffron blaze. Wind swept across her brunette wet long hair, thoughts of a net and human ways, hooted in shrill amaze. Mestors woke amongst an ocean sand bed of froth, sounds of laughter in the wind spread. A glimmering pace along the beach and a droll tone song in the silver wake of the moon was shed. 8/1/2018 MESTOR A king of one the ten kingdoms of Atlantis--a mythical continent in the Atlantic Ocean. He was a son of Poseidon and Kleite. http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/PoseidonFamily.html In folklore, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish.[1] Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The first stories appeared in ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drownings. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same tradition), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid

The poem and the accompanied poem are beautifully done. Where on earth did you find such a photo? I am curious as to which came first, the photo or the poem?
