A Mermaids Tale
That was the last we saw of her
ever
….. The mermaids tail that was
now all of her blues and her
grays
….. and her silvers an all
are quite marbled away
Like the
….. skin of a mackerel
long since landed and played
Her wave washed goodbye said it all
….. and gave the whole game way
to a sigh on the wind
and since then
….. she has only by seen
by gulls, cormorants, and crakes
But for a moment
….. back then, I just knew I could fly..

a fairy tale grounded in the reality of intricate details, wonderfully dreamy - immersive writing.
has that semblance of the child we carry within us, to our very end

Good write of a sea-faring lass Neville.
.. Thanks Orchidee........ tis just a bit o fun .. I do like a good mermaid ... but its not the same since they stopped serving em in newspaper 🙂
We all fly in our dreams and see the jewelry of our minds imagination - here the light reflects off the shimmering of mermaid incantation and then.... as if waking.... we are momentarily the bird but..... oh, here is reality again.
An absorbing, enchanting read which took me places which \i enjoyed very much.... going to re-read now.
absolutely DA ... you got it sir ... you cant beat a good dream now can ya .. and two visits, is a dream come true ..
A tail of fantasy, breaking through the waves, instilling flight ambitions, and disappearing with the return of reality.
Brief and colorful descriptions, just enough to wet the readers appetite,
a bit of sadness at the end "a sigh on the wind." and acceptance of the impossible, " I just knew I could fly." altogether a great tale superbly rendered. Thanks for a brief moment of fantasy. - Phil A.
Blimey .. I really can't thank you enough my friend, thank you ever so much for this most encouraging review comment .. I really am most grateful ..
... Neville
