This begins well and the 2d stanza is fine until I get to / a grin/. And the 3d stanza could deftly use some more thought. Overall, the presentation with color and illustration is charming. Good Luck on this one.

I have always be fascinated with mermaids. My father was a seaman and told us many a story about the mermaid he 'almost' caught when fishing. Lovely poem with excellent imagery. I also love the illustration you chose to accompany this one.

A very well-written poem. A flower poet seem to have great ideas to stay inspired and keep writing her poems with the mermaid I. The ocean. Beautiful choice of artwork.

Mermaids,

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. *smile* "Flower Poet' SOUNDS nice, but here you have made her steal the love of another while the mermaid is away. Sounds wicked! *smile* Thanks!

I love the use of the mermaid and the consistency of its reputation with people and sea. The story here brings back a lot of memories of stories and movies about mermaids that I encountered as a kid.

Thank you for sharing

What an inspiring imagination you have.
I think the Flower Poet is a beautiful fantasy. Your poem had a bit of the flavor of the Odyssey and Odysseus in his travels.
I really enjoyed your work and look forward to reading more!

beautiful and unique picture, where you get it from. a very interesting and intriguing beginning paragraph. An interesting second paragraph so the poet is a man eating flower?

There is a kind of sadness in your words that somehow disappointment has deadened the flowers and all is lost somehow. Not even the pretty mermaid can lift the spirits, love Dolly x
