Best Mermaids Poems

She’s always drawing mermaids, and they bear
resemblance to their artist, for each one
is but a girl. Dark, wavy, thick, long hair
hides pre-pubescent breasts; Elysian
the islands drawn for all her mermaids seem . . . 
so different from her own reality. 
The islands that she colors...

There once were mermaids hailing from Crete
The Aegean Sea they'd rule so sweet
        They'd enchant with their chant
        Dull the rant when heard 'can't'
For them not a match was Hercules' fleet

The...

The seas softly speak with voices that talismanically tweak,
Magical maids in their mystique porpoises of their physique…
Ambient aqua-marine waving seductresses of their craving,
A splashing sylph spraying through wandering waters braving…

Goddesses of the dousing deep show finesse as they leap,
Enchanting when they weep collecting desires for...

NOT For contest, wrote this on the beach today and realised I'd wrote over the 20 line max, thought I'd post it anyway. 


What follows reads like a tall fishy tale
How I nearly died in a force ten gale
I had hired a boat with my...

Mermaids

Mermaids swimming in a school
‘neath the ocean blue
locks of gold and scales of jewel
sunlight streaming through.

Sailor’s dream this vision is,
sirens of the deep;
playing in the ocean’s fizz,
in a seaman’s sleep.

Fantasies of sheer delight,
visions in the mind;
maritime seductive sight,
searching hard to find.

Joining in this reverie,
where I...

Mermaid Heart 

Mermaid on the moon: 
come see me soon. 
I am fading in the night, 
losing my light, 
I am torn in two pieces; 
one of them is ewe. 
Heart,a mermaids heart, 
is the only 
word---that i have been 
able, 
softly spoken, 
to find---to...

The  mermaids  ball  music  still  lingers .

Swordfish  Fred  and his shoal  of  sweet singers

Had  a  whale  of  a  time

On  the octopus  slime

Caressed  by  their  salty ...

The elliptical sea, ageless, timeless without fathoms depth
Of the eternal degree, its finite waves ushering against the
Everlasting shore of tranquility’s rush, a liquid vacuum of inner
Special waves, crashing against the coral rife of life itself.
Beneath serenity's surging, under the undertows splashing,
Lies a world within a...

     Ladders of twisted seaweed

Beautiful mermaids: 
Mythical ocean dwellers.
Why don't they have gills? 

Mythical mermaids-- 
If real, are they then friendly, 
Or are they Sirens? 

Caught you a mermaid? 
Best not fall in love with her. 
They don't mate, they spawn!...

From beneath foam and spray, where the
Sun light never penetrates, in fathom's chilly forbidden
Realm lies a kingdom of golden coral reefs.
Poseidon’s children of the murky depths dwell, in liberation's
Untamed wilderness of the unknown.
Mermaids and mermen living in this aquatic domain,
Of the evergreen's seaweed jungle, a...

Thus seen, far past one's own

                    To delve the ink depths, lone

          Too brave to wrest the...

The waves crushing her tiny body with striking blows
White creamy wash caresses her golden skin as the wave slows
Moving sluggishly towards the horizon
Because of a recurring vision she hopes she’ll arise in
Her feet digging deep into the sand as it sinks between her toes
Emersed, with...

At the end of the world where the sea meets the sky,
there's a small strip of land where the mermaids lie.
Where they  chit and they chat, or play and have fun,
and top up their tan in the midday sun.

Now it's rare to see a...
