a powerful and moving magical realism poem about encountering a merman in Charleston - I like the interplay, the emotional intensity and the images evoked

A Merman - I guess 'why not' ? And a poem of reflection and a little fantasy too by the ocean shore with a permanent reminder of the encounter-great pic.

A fine ramble though a blissful fantasy in this description of an encounter with a spectacular-looking merman - your words remind me of pics I have seen of Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

In any case your story and description are well-presented, bringing a myth to life in a present-day setting.

Good luck in the contest.

Steve

Thank you so much, Steve,
for the 5 stars and your great
comments. Jason Momoa
was st a local restaurant 5
minutes from our home a few months ago. We found
out from a friend on Facebook. He's quite an
attractive man. I enjoyed penning this poem and I'm
glad you like it. Thank you
again and have a creative
and terrific Thursday.

Great poem Regina. You've painted an awesome picture that brings the reader right beside you. You took us FANTASticallY from the pain that Arthur Itis brought you to the soothing richness of the pearl bearing Charleston Merman. Take care, Daniel
