The Mermaid
She was beautiful
With her glistening aqua fins
Long golden hair
Sparkling emerald eyes
The loneliness that penetrated her gaze
Enhanced the loveliness behind her veil
Her tail swished to the side as she glided
Through the waters
A tear drop that longed to fall
She held onto for strength
The ocean was her home
She filled it with coral and shells
Blue was her favorite color
She swam alone
On and then
Wanting to find the one
Longing for another
Hoping everyday that he would find her
That was her mission
She wanted to feel loved
To be cherished
To be held
She was tired of the darkness
And the seeping cold
So everyday she would ask for the one
To love her to come
She would ask with all her might
Waiting for the other
Then one day he found her
A handsome and protective stranger
He stayed made a home
And told her he would love her
Forever

I think your style of writing is so much more difficult than what I do. I admire the way you bring images to life with so few words. Great job my friend!
A lovely story in beautiful words.
Thank you Caroline!

Hello, Gorgeous, Caroline i see that you are experimenting with writng a poem to fit the pictures , and if i can say you do it better than me. very nice Caroline , sweet poetry
Thank you for sharing this dream with us
Aha , A happy ending..Loved it..
Yes the pearls of the oceans, the mermaid who awaits for love to guide her soul to rest. I love stories of mermaids, wouldn't it be so nice to see a real one appear before our very eyes. I've often wondered about them. I loved "Splash" with Darryl Hanna and Tom Hanks, one of my favorites, now she was one beautiful mermaid:-)) Lovely poem Caroline, I got wet when your mermaid splashed me with her tail.
Voted up and awesome. A lovely fantasy poem. Imagine living under the water. As beautiful as it is under there I know I'd miss the sunshine. Love to imagine that there really are mermaids and that they're lovely. Thanks for the dream.
A very beautiful descriptive poem, I really enjoyed it.
Beautifully versed poem on the legendary mermaid! This well-composed poem of yours reminded me of Walt Disney classic animated film, where the mermaid, who is bored of her sea life and longed for adventures in the land, found love in the handsome stranger - a prince and in the end they lived happily ever after. Well-done!
Thanks for SHARING. Beautiful. Voted up

Wow, beautiful, Caroline, such a warm and very short story with a wonderful ending. I have always loved the "idea" of a mermaid...in the navy four years, looked but never saw one.
