I can hear her calling out to sea and the mermaid's voices answer. Beautiful piece, Joyce. Angi~

[Joyce S. Greene]

How nice of you to read this poem and for leaving such a nice comment. Hope you have had a nice week. I'm very tired and still have Friday to get through. Oh well, TGIF!

[wordwarrior]

Such a beautifully enchanting scene you show with your words Joyce. You sure know how to pack a lot of imagery in a few words and that's not easy to do!
LOVE that last line!!!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Tanka is my preferred form though a lot of folks don't care for it. Hope your day is a sunny one. :)

[wordwarrior]

Well my day is certainly a sunny one. For me, spring is on the way and that always lifts my spirits!

[Frieda P]

The title drew me to this mysteriously lovely piece, mermaids & the moon, so enchanting.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you so much, Frieda. You have made getting up early on a Monday morning so much brighter! Have a very good day.

[Frieda P]

I should be saying that to you Joyce, my pleasure!

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you so much for reading and leaving such nice thoughts behind. I really appreciate it.

[Aubrai]

Reminds me of the 4th installment of the pirate of the Caribbean. Beautiful, indeed!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Aubrie, I almost missed your comment and am so glad I didn't. A very nice thought.

[Rita L. Sev]

Oooh - I love the image of a "moonbather". Beautiful poem!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you, Rita. I really appreciate your comments - they mean a whole lot to me. I've been writing into a relative vacuum for a while, and now I feel poetry has come alive for me again. Just wish I had more time to devote to it. Maybe this is my poetry vacation, who knows?

[Rita L. Sev]

I know what you mean. For years no one read my poems, and being here has breathed new life into my Muse. In a few short weeks I will be back at school, and my time here will be significantly curtailed...

[Joyce S. Greene]

Good luck to you at school, Rita. You must be much, much younger than I am. How I envy you.

[Rita L. Sev]

Oh, no - not young at all - I am a teacher! Sorry for the confusion... :) I have been teaching for 23 years.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Oh, OK, but you're still most likely much younger than I am, so take heart. I don't want to tell you how many years I've been working. lol

[Sami Khalil]

A beautiful poem along with the imagery...:)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you, Sami, I really appreciate your very nice comment. It means a lot to me!

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:)

[Emerald Seas]

Lovely imagery from your accompanying picture and the beautiful tanka! Well done

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you for stopping by to read my poem and leave such nice words behind.
