A trip to the lighter side!  She gingerly tosses the tiny fish back into the depth of the sea as she looks towards the land and wishes for that which cannot be. Few fishermen have seen her in her existance of countless years the sight of her is a good omen and eases their deepest fears. Her body-length, brown hair shines with the rays from the sun her laugh, the soft tones of music she's an innocent beauty, that one. She has many water-bound friends for water-bound is she fated to live her life in the fathoms of the sea. Her singin can be heard all the fishermen say, from dusk of an eve until dawn of the day. Then again she submerges while the day is fair the beautiful mermaid with the shining, brown hair. She swims the ocean from both wide, wide ends, keeping a loyal watch over her fishermen friends. Just go to the ocean and if trouble there be, look for the mermaid of the deep, blue sea.  [This message has been edited by childomine (edited 02-29-2000).] |

Wowowowow!! This is GREAT, child!!  You paint a perfect picture of the sea-dwelling mermaid...almost makes me wish I was water borne too! But then again, I'd hate to give up my fire-breathing ability!  Little Spyro T. Dragon |

What a delightful vision of things not seen, but we all know they are there because we perceive with not our eyes, but our hearts. Thanks for this refreshing view. Dennis :^) Poetry is the expression of thoughts which awake the higher and nobler emotions, or their opposites, with words arranged to some accepted convention.........or maybe not! Dennis :^) |
