Today, I Saw A Mermaid...
“I address you all tonight for who you truly are: wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians. You are the true dreamers.”
– Brian Selznick –
I saw a mermaid today.
In my case, seeing a mermaid is surely enough to trigger the poetry in my soul...

Today, I Saw A Mermaid
~A Poem~by Duncan Cary Palmer
Today, while dining with my friend,
I saw a mermaid fair.
"Why is she here?" I wondered.
For breakfast, to be sure.
Along with several homeless,
yet seeming less distressed...
If you call the sea your home,
you're more composed, I guess...
Glittering sequins form her gown,
so much like a long tail.
Aquamarine makeup,
has overcome her pale.
She has an air about her...
Could she be still wet?
I dare not follow her abroad,
as we have not yet met.
Perhaps she's headed for the sea?
Her cherished, watery home?
I find myself in wonder still:
Might she be all alone?
Oh, that I'd followed on!
A mermaid!

I assume a Mermaid would be a Great surfer! ( or minimum a great distraction for Surfer's?)
A definite "Yes!" to both! :D
Sirens of the Sea...as Prufrock said, I don't think they'll sing for me lol
Beautiful and funny at the same time. Went a long way to helping me get woke up this morning. Thanks for posting!
Thank you very much, Denise. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Just lovely, I would like to see a mermaid too!
It is really a great poem, thank you for sharing it with us, resteemed and follow you now)
Thank you, Kristina. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much, also, for Re-Steeming! :D
Quite nice my friend. LOL What I would give to find a mermaid today who has a heart of gold and the hope of God. But instead I continue to fill this platform with posts. LOL Is Duncan Cary Palmer the angel from heaven you posted about before? Blessings my friend.
I wish you well in finding that mermaid, my friend!

Nice poem. The picture really made it engaging. Just enjoyed it with my imaginations.
Have never seen one in my life. But are females the only mermaids. Just wondering how a male one would be like.
Hello, @georgechuks,
You've raised some interesting questions.
I believe the males are called "mermen."
Thank you for enjoying my poetry!
