Once_Upon_A_Time (Stories)
Godess of the sea.
She hears the oceans pleas.
Calls out to her animal friends.
Her sadness never ends.
Skin so glittery gold.
Her story has never been told.
Child of imagination.
A devine creation.
Part woman part fish.
She has only one wish.
She sees the shore.
dosen't understand.
All these beings.
Walking on sand.
Ones that look like her,
holding someone elses hand.
Yet she feels somewhat connected.
Retires to her seaweed bed.
Venus of the deep blue.
Swims on through.
Each merciless tide.
Seeking refuge.
A place to hide.
When the beings.
Invade the sea.
She felt they,
invaded her terrritory.
How unfair she thought.
That she couldn't walk on land.
The beings in the sea.
were the ones who lived on the sand.
One comes closer.
Caugt a glimpse of her beauty.
victim of his curiosity.
She sensed him.
Yet didn't flee.
Beneath the sea.
He swam closer.
so did she.
She was unreal.
He couldn't believe.
Fair haired maiden.
Locks, as golden as her skin.
He heard a voice.
That penetrated within.
Telepathic communication.
Surreal and foriegn.
She was the last of her kind.
He soon found out.
His air supply low.
He was running outta time.
Lungs of fire.
Gasping for air.
She was there.
Once she kissed him.
he felt free.
Held her close.
Feeled with glee.
Underwater yet not drowning.
Skeletal structure,reforming.
Sprouting silver tail.
Aquatic embrace.
Close to one anothers face
They swam away.
In the ocean blue.
What happend to Jake?
Nobody knew.
The story
Having never been told.
Bout'the man that stayed.
Seduced by a mermaid.

this is a really interesting story... really cool
I really enjoyed this poem. I really love tales about fantastical beings and I felt that you handled it very well. It is nice to have such a wonderful departure from the other poems we usually get in the Poem of the Day emails.
Great job!
Keep writing!
Hey,
I got this poem in the "Daily Random" poem thing. I enjoyed it! Good job writing it!

Wow such a good poem...But very long, kinda more a story than a poem. Still good
This is nicely done - a good fairy tale with a happy ending & characters that are easily appreciated.
Great read...thoroughly enjoyable.

I too, enjoyed "Splash" I applaud you, as I feel you have captured the movie, in your poem. It is very well written.
Wow I really like this poem. It flows so smoothly and is so interesting. I like mermaids too :)
I really enjoyed this narrative poem.Great story. The only thing that bugged me was the commas at the end of each line. The same rules as to full-stop sand commas apply to poetry as they do to prose.all the same, this was an interesting write.
Smile.. it is the cheapest facelift.
i like the movie "Splash" too. i liked this poem. when i was younger i wanted to grow up to be a mermaid. heh.
