Coming back after some time I can fully understand. I am a member since January this year, and I feel so much at home here! I made many poet friends, got wonderful reviews on my posted poems, and do not go away for a while I think.
I liked your poem. I am a free-verse writer as well and appreciate your choice of words, the line breaks, the creation of pictures of a mermaid world.
Well done, I will see more of your work in the future, I hope.

What a wonderful piece! It has such a fun feel to it and the metaphor of a poet or writer as a mermaid back in the water is fantastic. I am currently without a computer as well and have been using my phone. No easy task. Welcome back!

Mermaids ae definitely back. About a year or two ago I purchased a large plastic containers of mermaid toys. I love them. They sparkle and glitter as they were kept in excellent condition.

I did not know your poetry before as I just joined this year - welcome back to your watery world of wonder and wisdom. It would be so wonderful to be a mermaid, and your poem shows us why.

You chose an appropriate piece of fan art to complement this poem. Mermaids are one of those mythical creatures that we wish were real. We can always dream, lol. Enjoyed the read.

the mermaid returns
guidance by the muses

more seahorses, whales
mermen..oooh

I gather the generous mermaid has much to offer, if only we will listen to her, and imagine a world in peace.
