I love these word pictures that swim through your mind!
Nice one Nathalie! lovely writeup! :)
I can almost see the sea mist.
Loved that last line. You caught the feeling perfectly here.
Instantly I see a cool, early morning by the sea. Beautiful poem.
I instantly see a fisherman on a misty morning bringing his their catch. Nice!
Forlorn mermaid tears..
So touching..
when my bones stick into yours
Now this shows how the seas become salty...mermaid tears.
Wonderful imagery. I could feel the dampness of the nets in my fingers as I read the poem.
I love poems about poetry because they actually help me understand the process much more clearly. I'll be remembering this as I struggle in the future weeks.
I have always felt sorry for those pretty mermaids. Except where they play with people I do believe they have a very sad life.
Your poem confirmed my thoughts, proof of their tears caught in the fishermen's nets.
Aha, aha!
..
Ah, a good catch. Your words and photo are a perfect blend.
love this photing!
You have such a sweet imagination ... "mermaid tears", how unique!
oh! i love the image it creates..
the nets are tangled and beautiful
