So in the spirit of all the tails and tales being blogged about lately, Im adding another one of my own...Anyone who really knows me knows me, Knows that I have a love for anything mermaid...I collect mermaids, I make mermaid dolls (well I did when I had more free time), I have a "memaid" (me as a mermaid) tattoo'd on my back and mermaids have always been the main topic of most of my poetry...This is one of my older poems fittingly titled " A Mermaid's Tale" ...
A Mermaid's Tale
Beneath the waves and crashing tides
the endless summer swells
beneath the palest blue moonlight
is where this mermaid dwells.
Once I walked amongst all men
And called the land my home
But now I live beneath the sea
A curse done of my own
I swim the endless waters
In search of my true love
To rescue me from the depth
And take me back above
I often send my mermaid song
On the wings of a white sea bird
To carry off to unknown lands
In hopes it may be heard
Till then I search the endless waves
Beneath the stars so pale
My one regret…. the wish I made
To have a mermaid's tail.

Mermaids are great
So weird, my cousin James is a fisherman and I passed by him this morning and asked if he caught his mermaid yet. Thank you for sharing Tami!
Tamara, I love my link comment, on that train of thought..If you looked as good in body art (as a mermaid) as your poetry is soothing, Well I gotta see that....
