Death of a Mermaids Moon
A battle raged late into the night
Followed by surrender
Islands off Solitude

She won, I think, with unbearable grief
ReplyDeleteIf death and surrender equal winning. If that was the goal
DeleteI LOVE everything about this piece, including the poem. She's just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteWith the next full moon she may become a mermaid once again...
ReplyDeleteLovely drawing and words, Anthony~~~
I sure hope so... looks like i need to do the sketch:)
DeleteThank you
Sure does :)
DeleteOh I really like this, both the poem and the sketch.
ReplyDeleteIt conjures up a peculiar longing in me...to have the ability to shape shift into a mermaid at the changing of the Moon's phase.
Now THAT would be fantastic!!
Thank you
DeleteI have always been fascinated with mermaids and the myths. Why any would give up the freedom to swim to be like us mortals is beyond me☺
