Mermaids,
You handle free-verse poems adeptly; your images are so clear. And you do it without the constraints characteristics of a rhyming poem.
I like the chemistry between the mermaid and the sea monster; it's the vulnerable leaning on the strong character.
Very beautiful poem, Mermaids.
Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Cindy

I love the saying with your portfolio about the unicorns. I believed in unicorns, fairies, and mermaids when I was much younger. I don't know, maybe I still believe. Sometimes it's better than reality. Nicely done.

I didn't read the first 2 parts, but this sounds
like a delightful fairytale.
I love the beautiful seafoam color you've used
also.
Very original!
Blessings...

This poem speaks well of companionship, even for the water world. You might be able to find a photo that could be used with your poem. I also think it might look more balanced if it were centered.
Best wishes.

The author's words are interesting, expressed well, descriptive and
creative. I found the author's words were able to convey a vision
of the mermaid and sea monster! The poem flows and connects well.
The color scheme used went well with the theme and words of this poem.

This reads as a bit of 'Beauty and the Beast' for me. A friendship that doesn't require any more than "being there" for one another. She seems to rely on his strength - he on her warmth that radiates through his toughness.

Sweet poem of just existing in each other's company.

What a great sea monster he is! This is cute and found its way into my heart of make-believe. I'm happy I stopped to read this one. Thanks for sharing. Best, JohnC.

Very nice Free verse. You do a good job showing that there are some things that transcends words and species. The powerful communication of love, companionship knows no barriers.

Well done.

I don't know quite what to make of this, but it is lovely. It's a nice image of the mermaid and the sea monster. I feel like I have heard this before, but I don't know. Thank you for sharing.
