A refreshing write. Image, colour and verbs of movement make this poem dynamic, lively, expectant and joyous. I enjoyed it.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image and presentation, Elaine.
-Your notes are appreciated, and I am sorry
for the losses of those close to you.
-I like your rhyming couplets with
imagery of the sea and the whales and dolphins.
-I like the color imagery of the sea.
-I particularly like this line:
"the soul of the blue whale, the humpback song"
-The final couplet is a good conclusion.

I like your fantasy poem, the selection of words and the rhyming. Yes, I agree...the end of the year is a good time to reflect and the new year brings another chance to set new goals and improve ourselves. Nice picture! Best of luck!

A contemplative piece that reminds us of the healing qualities of the ocean on our souls. I liked your description "angels of the water" and your references to the magical sound of whale song.

Hello Mermaids,
Such a poignant poem of loss yet determination to move ahead. I am sorry for your losses... And yet, I also sense deep strength in your words to go forward, seeking the beauty in life and the year ahead...
Thank you for sharing!

Mermaids, unlike humans, know to confront the dangers of the sea, but as you write, they too feel sorrow for the loss of loved ones. There is more to them than mere siren songs.

You chose some lovely artwork to go with the message in your poetry. The poem is well-written also, and inspirational. I recently lost my husband and friend of thirty-eight years so this truly hit home with me. It is beautiful.

I love the sense of naivety from the mermaid, but also the sense of quiet wisdom. I've honestly never read a 'fantasy poem' so I had no idea what to expect going into it. Life lessons from a mermaid :)
