I wrote a book called, Eric and the Mermen, for my 12 year old grandson Eric. (I wrote him 4 novellas, he was the hero in the all) I found loads of pictures of mermen on Pixabay, and other sites. So, yes, there are mermen!
I must check through my messages and see if this one came through, after the week I had with my tooth, I might have missed it. This poem is wonderful, the reverse of the siren luring men to their deaths. Yours has them sailing off to fantasy land! Brilliant idea, and I loved it. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

When I read this only I suddenly remembered a poem I studied in college. Forsaken Merman by Mathew Arnold. His human wife leaves him and his children because she happened to hear church bells...
were sirens mermaids? I had presumed they were just beautiful women sitting on the rocks and luring sailors...
Thank you very mch for topping by
Comment from Hitcher
I'm liking the idea of the male siren winning the girl and sailing off to a fantasy island with his prize. Much better the the men being lured to the deaths by the female sirens : )) Nice !

Comment from mermaids
I enjoyed reading your words. There is a feel of fantasy that takes the reader to another place. "His haunting strains had her in a thrall" is a perfect line that brings forth emotions and a feeling that brings chills. Yes, I believe sirens can be male. I think I will write a poem about one now, thanks for the idea.

Comment from Mary Shifman
This is an enjoyable poem and an intriguing twist on an old scenario! I absolutely agree. Why could there not be a male siren? Nice picture, too. I'm guessing she turned into a mermaid once the siren got her away from safety. Nice job.

I was about to call it a day, when your lovely poem propped up, It reminded me of my visit to Copenhagen, Denmark and watching the famous mermaid sitting on the rock! hat was long ago. You have created a lovey imagery and chosen the right painting for your poem. Well done! Thanks for sharing. We have won the test! Great way to say good night with a six.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I agree let's have some male sirens. Hey according our government males can now birth babies. So we need to state them as the birthing parent. Sorry, I digressed. I enjoyed reading your poem. It was fun to read and flowed smoothly.

That's what I thought. May be a day will come when men can birth a baby. Thank you very much for stopping by.
Comment from Sherry Asbury
I have always found them to be referred to as female...but who knows...men certainly try to trap pretty girls. An interesting and titillating tale and a question for pondering - well done.
