How wonderful it is for you to have this picture so vivid in your mind - a vision you can call up at will to bring your world to a calm, happy place. It is a beautiful poem.

Your words carry the reader through an almost meditative journey. The picture you posted with is nice but does not begin to compare to the majesty of your word.
Thank you for the journey you lead me on this evening.

A compelling and all-encompassing chronicle of your experience. Well crafted, with a lovely rhythm that is all-important in free verse (too many writers ignore this). Even the best of photos and souvenirs do not measure up to the magic and nuance of memory. Thank you for sharing - DJ

Hi, Mermaids,

Great photo and poem about the wonders of nature at its best. Sometimes it's the simple things that make it all worthwhile.

Nicely penned.

Cheers & Blessings

Seeking dolphins and discovering a great sea turtle--quite an adventure; one of the many highlights of your tropical get-away;
No need for souvenirs, your visions of this aquatic wonder will certainly remain with you for quite some time;
Many of God's creatures fascinate us, if we are lucky enough to encounter them.

Hi mermaids this sounds like an absolutely amazing experience. I feel so envious. Sea turtles have always been one of my favourite species.
