the graceful schooner
bounces, rocks in the arms
of a salty sea,
an expedition of women
who chase the image of
the ideal male,
complete with fish-tail,
artful beard, sparkling eyes
diving dolphins,
curious clownfish
pink coral
dwell in the all
encompassing entity
of vastness
but where is the
elusive merman?
he must be watching in
anticipation of lively
females on a quest,
but today's visions
bring laughter,
fresh air, a song
an adventure
to human weariness
searching for
a delightful myth
sails flutter in the
cool breeze
smiles reflect in
sea green water
but no handsome
male creature
to admire
he did not appear
on this happy voyage
but the next time
is already in the planning
stages when joyful women
chase ocean dreams
