My bay

i come and write here
quite like a mermaid
who sits on its shore
and then disappears
before she surfaces again
in need for her air supply

And it continues
this cha cha cha between
letting things happen
and make things happen
while i just come here
to sit and enjoy the show.

Yes, Sona, a mermaid is a great metaphor. So apt to the content of your poem, and, having read, I can say that I must be a mermaid too!
Blessings, Allen

I like the mermaid metaphor. That would make me one of the Bay's long lost mermen. :)

The mermaid in the bay that comes to mind is the oft vandalised Little Mermaid of Copenhagen. In some ways that is fitting. But coming up for air is indeed Poetry and that this place has been for many of us - quite a few who no longer visit or have gone before us. Thanks for reminding us of this cha cha cha.

I like the idea of a mermaid on the bay! I'm sitting here enjoying your show.
