Iron Mermaid sailing into the night…

The sea is a lonely home

Iron Mermaid sailing

Black waves dancing

Playing loosely beneath the surface

Iron Mermaid rolling

Dark sky hugging

Mild winds singing

Rocking a sleepy sea

Tucked in tight

The Iron Mermaid sleeps

Geat poem. Love the picture of the ship at sea.

An appealing poem and it applies to everyone of us.

Sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite, especially at sea at night. I like your way with rhyme.

Very cool. I half-thought this would be about a heavy metal band.

A ship floating at sea – such a romantic notion. Lovely use of metaphor, Shirley.
