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 the deck
I stood there surprised and puzzled
I picked up my phone and looked over
Into the water, a head suddenly popped up
It was a man’s face smiling at me
I stood there in disbelief
And said to myself why would
A man be floating in the water
Suddenly, he flips his tail up and
I realized it was a Merman
I screamed out loud and my family
Rushed to my aid, and saw the
The Merman as he swims away
Quickly! We were so scared
That we never spoke a word
About it

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.

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 been looking for her
a mermaid who was not taken
She was now taken,
as was he
they lived happily in the sea
raising darling merbabies.

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 was the most perfect merman in the China Sea

to play free, hide and seek,
dance on tail as seals perform,
where coral polyps held in reef,
and to make friends with sea cucumbers,
sea stars and sponges clinging to seafloor.

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

I saw a merman
(Dedicated to Andrea Dietrich)
I saw a merman in Andrea's den
Alive and kickin' and chewin' her pen
He seized on Andrea's heart
The young Merman was so smart
He said, 'a kiss I'll be as right as rain '

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'
shark like
barricade of emptiness
Ugly words bite
Deep into the pain,
each lash of the tongue
Like you savour in pleasure
Mouth ripping deep
Distorted ugly lies
As the poison drips
Out of the foul mouth
Becoming a vile beast
Hell with you
The heart withers,
dying one time beauty
Cracks in the ache,
wounded severely
Light, I look to you
Loves holy name speaks,
one time my little mermaid
To the wicked ways
You escaped hell,
one of your creations
Love in me disappeared,
wishing on me
The torment,
my heart for you
Died
The heart in her
turned black
blue cold

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 paths had crossed before
Now she wants to lead me back
To teach me to breathe under underwater
I’ll be sleeping soon
I’ll meet her there
And we’ll see where the current ends
If it ever does
