Consorting with Mermaids

Posted on January 23, 2013 by

It’s a funk
-y slump,
the jump
into this
scaly sea.

But with oh
-pen gills
and inky spills
we’re feelin’
fin. 

…

 

…

With gratitude for Shawna for the title, and the (always) inspiration.

    fantastic! you know how reading poetry is supposed to be fun? that’s what reading your poetry is: it’s fun! and in the way that all good art does, just reading it sorta makes everything make sense. “ah, yes! This is what consorting with mermaids sounds like!” and then I have a smile as I begin my day. bravo!
