Premium Member The mermaids of J Alfred Prufrock
The other day, when I was walking by the sun-splashed sea, I was overcome by a fiery joy and a titillating glee, as, on silvery, green rocks not far from the yellow beach, I heard mermaids singing, each to each. And then they turned ~ and they sang to me! ...

the Lost Mermaids
The Albatross grants us its vue The lamp is bright to mature your soul The nonsense makes me numb The Mermaids of the Canals cry their demise They play their best web, swim Make your plans tell everyone you've got to lose to unspun the gilded gauge amongst a riverway of lies The Albatross between the stretch of canals The Mariner tales his tales Trains making with their...

Premium Member The Ocean
The ocean is a brimming bountiful beauty, of whales, porpoises, dolphins, seahorses, fish, seabirds, plankton, algae, sparkling brine of emerald and blue. Her dead are entombed in her eternal body, she rises in the merciless storms, with waves that toss many craft. Yet, she also lies smoothly as a sleeping kitten, mariner's timeless sea chanties in the winds. She is envious of the sailor's love for...

Premium Member I Do not Believe in Mermaids
Summer would soon be over I thought wryly as I walked Along the beach, bare-footed, Admiring the beauty of the sun setting Behind the far away mountains. She emerged from the sea, all wet, And hid behind a large rock. I meant her no harm as I smiled at her. Soon we were engaged in a conversation, Mainly complaining that we had a...

Premium Member The Mermaids
Sailors from a sinking ship not one shall survive For mermaids grasp them by the hips and to the bottom dive. Both young and old sailors gasp and drown into the deep. The ocean is a sea of tears in dying they weep. So beautiful the mermaids are with faces young red lips and slender necks were strings of pearls...

Premium Member The Ocean Beckons -POTD
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 arms folded she prepares and off she goes The cool oceans...

Premium Member Teanna and Her Mermaids
Teanna and her mermaids were in the fountain at play Some people came by and said “what a fine day!” They could see Teanna, of course, she is real and all None could see the mermaids, for their brains are too small You have to have imagination to see mermaids and faeries. These people’s brains were no bigger than tiny...

Thru the eyes of a child where newness abounds, the magical lure of the merry go round.. It's piped in repetitious sound entices spectators all around.. "Choose your seat" says a ticketer at the gate. Large steel poles anchor in the animals fate. Painted horses methodically go up and down with hoofs that never meet the ground.. Mermaids, tigers, and other beasts, co-exist here,...

Let me watch at that sea that I've been haunted when I was fourteen. My teens, at the high school, a normal day, a school trip that changed my life. A countryside girl with all kind of dreams. The most she wanted to be it was...

Premium Member Mermaids Hated Her Now
Pink octopus turned herself into an exquisitely beautiful woman. She had round fat circular tentacle curls and fair skin, best of all, feet. The mermaids were jealous as Pink lifted herself out of the Caribbean Sea. She turned and gave them a thumbs up with her new left thumb. They cheered wildly, which was fake. They truly hated her...
