Poem Artwork

            ~Changeling~

Drawn of seahorse singing
to the man in the moon no 
ambition to steal away as
fluidity is not lost for lovely
mermaid ebbing of tide

In mortal woman's face
life's sorrows tax our grace

At times better to pretend
sirens of innocence in 
seduction for the betterment

Perhaps fantasies to mend 
lending feet in this mermaid's
tale be told for mortal woman

Safely smoothing your edges 
new dawn's allurement song 
in a conch by sea foam breeze
upon a starfish strewn beach

(c) Changeling

Enchanting is how this pictures is presented
with the allurement of dawn's song :)

The theme is as old as the sea but always merits an imaginative rewrite. I like that line about smoothing your edges. It sort of sums up what the sea is all about.

The poet's mind turns to changing into a mermaid by the sea. The legend of mermaids continues to grow with each poem written about them.

"Perhaps fantasies to mend

Fantasies are part and parcel a grouping of wondering and hopeful thoughts we allow ourselves to bring to the forefront of our secret lives. Lives we share not with our fellowman.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
