For a timeless fairytale, she was sacrificed...

Quite a haunting and challenging response to the image! A great write!
ReplyDeleteDear GT,
ReplyDeleteYou are the first to post a comment for my first ever microfiction! Thank you for making my day.

Oh, the eternal sadness of mermaids - beautifully captured here.

Have a great week.
Oooh, lovely. You've got me wondering if such an immortality is worth the price of death -- maybe it is.
ReplyDelete'Loved' and 'died' always go well together in a fairy tale, it seems!
Welcome to MFM! And what a great start! Poignant, yet pithy!
ReplyDeleteDear Jabblog, who reminds me of Jabberwocky tales, Sylvia,Peggy and SouthLakesMom - thank you for the wonderful welcome and encouragement!
ReplyDeleteDear Ellie, I will try my best! Can't believe I am writing poetry again after such a long hiatus...
And dear Suz, Thank you for dropping by at my magpie. It's lovely, this enclave of writers at the edge of the big ocean, saying hello to each other!
P/S Peggy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for being follower no 5. I loved your hostess on deck!
Very sad, but beautiful. Welcome to MFM!
ReplyDeleteI guess the Movie Splash didn't fill Us in on what a Mermaids Life really entails. Welcome to Susan's Microfiction Monday, you did well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janel and Bil. I will definitely continue with MFM, it is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI meant Bill, sorry !
ReplyDeleteGreat job for your first post--sad and haunting. And when I was a little girl I thought it would be so cool to be a mermaid! Well done.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem. Captures the picture really well.
