| Post subject: | The Sea Child |
I am a child of the trembling seas, First air I breathed was salty breeze. My heart belongs to the swelling waves, The briny depths are what it craves. I am a child of waters green, Belonging to the world marine. Oh take me to the depths below Under the waves I wish to go. I am a child of the sparkling waters One of Poseidon’s aquatic daughters My soul ebbs and flows with the tide On foam-white horses I do ride. I am a child of the boundless waves, Freer than the land born slaves. One day shall I return to my home, Beneath the waves bright foam? |

Thanks all! Actually did a rhyming one for a change. Phine? Pretty Hot In Nearly Everything? Sounds about right... |

Brings out the true mermaid in you. I agree with the others, liked that a lot. |

Thanks all. I grew up by the sea and I always wanted to be a mermaid when I grew up. Also fits in with my favourite evolutionary theory, the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis. Whether it is true or not, I want it to be true. |

Did you? And you are! Me... I never grew up by the sea, and I never wanted to be a clam. Funny how things sometimes flip over into the reverse. Fine poem Philomena! The Aquatic Ape? Sounds odder than me! |
