hidden below the echoing cold indigo sea a mermaid dwells . . . mystical as told in myths if you believe breathtakingly beautiful and sensual . . . in her cobalt blue cave . . . she keeps gems and treasure chests stolen the sailors dizzy with lust lured into the sea by her liquid musical murmur and D O W N they fall to be no more . . . and when the ship crashes into jagged rocks breaking apart and becoming part of the sea she comes silently beneath the tumbling waves to take anything that shines to her watery underwater cave . . . where they sparkle and glow for her she loves to touch each one - so beware travelers of the open uncharted sea a beautiful mermaid is waiting to d r o w n you in the unforgiving dark depths and steal all that sparkles only to decorate her blue cobalt cave . . . _______________________ August 1, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/Mystical Mermaid Copyright Protected, ID 16-813-213-0 All Rights Reserved.

Woo hoo hoo - well done, i love the creativity that continues to unfold in each imaginative line. Not a Tom Hanks mermaid, but a self-serving, mean-tailed mermaid! (you may or may not get that statement) All the best ... CayCay

Every time I think of mermaids, I think of Arielle and that song "Under the Sea." lol I think your poem is as mystical as mermaids themselves. I love the poem and the picture. Both spark my imagination!
