MERMAID

A mermaid sat
upon the rocks
singing to the reef.

On days the sun
was shining, her smiles
were filled with teeth.

On days the rain
was splashing, her songs
were filled with grief.

   I read something today about a "mermaid mind."  I thought this a lovely reference to wild and fanciful thinking.  Perfect for muse stirring poetry.  Great for dreaming.  What do you dream about?  Can you write a poem today about dreaming? 

Between dreaming and reality, I think I'll take the dream.

THANK YOU

and pelicans
standing on a reef
keeping other birds away
giving them grief.


    Today is National Thank You Note Day--a day dedicated to writing notes and letters.  So today I want to thank you for stopping by and reading my humble little poems.  Thank you for all the encouragement you give to me and thanks for the ideas you inspire for more poems.  My blog would not exist without you.  I'm so grateful for you.  Thank you.
