SEA WANTS ME
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 so ready
steady from Cape to Rio
spectators on Signal Hill

THE MERMAN II
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 in
The water, a few minutes later
It was tossed back onto

merman shark man
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 me.

Charleston Merman
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, then a splash,
and a masculine, "Hello,"
there in the mossy colored

Saved Herself for a Merman
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 right time
he was gallant and brave,
best of all, he had

Most Perfect Merman In China Sea
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 a grin
cleaned house, washed dishes, vacuumed and made her tea
he

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

Voice of Merman
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 hell
Eyes left me in the dark,
snarling white fangs'

Merman
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 persuadable I am
Patience
I wonder if she followed me here
If our
