We were vacationing in the state of
palm trees and seashore in September's
mild loveliness.
Me, a sexagenarian widow,
hobbled by arthritis in my knees.
As my family enjoyed the surf,
I sat contented on a creaking 
wooden pier,
taking in the salted breeze tossing
my gray hair.

I heard the seawater beneath me
ripple,...

There was a splash in the river
Coulda been a number of things
Like to think it was a mermaid
Spying on me
Building up the nerve
Before she persuades me
To follow her to the sea
We could make humaids
Or mermans
They could be scholars
And amphibious
She’s so shy
If she only knew how...

Merman roars
from the top of his lung's, 
to the thundering dark clouds 
Across his sky, 
in severe whistling, 
my head bows in your shame 

In the tune of change 
As my ocean swells, 
you begin to rip 
the insides out of me 

A mermaid from...

merman had no chance to swim away
a bunch of sirens serenaded him that day
they fought over him and the little sister won
she was a dazzling mermaid who knew how to have fun

merman never tried to get away again
he held her yarn, as she crocheted with...

whate and shark both wanted her love
she saved herself
for her feelings were not the same
they eventually moved on

there is no merman, other mermaids chastised her
she hoped they were wrong
prayed for a merman
other mermaids married sharks and whales and moved on

handsome kind merman arrived at the...

One day I decided to go on 
A vacation with 
Family and friends
We stayed at an Airbnb
With the perfect water
Front view, I step out to
Get a closer look
And take pictures of the 
Beautiful view with
My phone, when it slipped 
Out of my hands and fell...

Merman shark man is solid, handsome, and strong
he frightens some onlookers, but never me
appearing in the ocean, which is never wrong
I love seeing merman shark man lingering in the sea
surrounded by dolphins who give him a song
his face is chiseled, and his stoic expression delights...

He talks to the fish
And they hear his every wish
He swims in their pee
Way out in the sea....

 SEA WANTS ME

Waves are here for the winners
spirals floating in turquoise 
dance ululating undulating 
blue bright sight
a point with paddle board
to soar sanguine Seas
I know not whether I’m 
merman or beach sand speck
two meters high wants to
shame, but they are only game

Seen on yacht...
