~ The Green Nymph of the North Sea (Part 1.)

~ Poetic story about some of my far away past, mixed up with mytology, and fantasy

~ The Green Nymph of the North Sea

 

Shimmer in this deep dark waves

Made her hazy vision clear

If small pearly reflections

Turned her way, like tiny suns

Could shine on dark gray days

 

There was no other light

Just as the light in her self

Which kept her moving

She lived for more than four hundred

Centuries long deep under the Sea 

 

Still there was never one shipper

Or sailor who had found her

Her fate was written in her being

Like others wished her bad, but

As strong as she was, she always smiled

 

Some days she saw other mortals die

As she wondered when it was her time

She knew she was special cursed

Her long hair was in the meantime gray,

But still she had a beautiful young face

And eyes so sharp, she wasn’t blind

 

In the days were she was still mortal

She was an beautiful princess taken by

The Dunkirkers who raped her, and

Where her pregnant healthy body after

They poisoned her and her unborn child

 

Was dumped in the mystical North Sea

But she is still awake in the dark and forgotten

Seabed, where she waits, until the moment

Presents itself, and were she and others victims

Shall dance among the revengeful souls and

Whispering their immortality in their lungs

 

 

So she and her unborn child will be reborn

 

To be continued...

Dreamy and melancholy... Yet this beautiful nymph who's life was spoilt by evil deeds maintains a smile as she waits patiently for her destiny to unfold.

It's very exciting to see you writing
Stories Elisa... And I noticed below that this one will continue. I await the continuation of your tale and very curious if you will continue in this lovely poetic style and this nymphs fate...

As far as mistakes ... Are you going for perfect grammar? You do use were twice, when I think you mean when or where... A few other things I can recommend, but easier when I am at home tonight...

This is a lavish tale woven with sadness and reality. A glimmer of hope lights the way however. Beautiful work.

Thank you so much dear friend x

[Chloe..Across the Universe]

' Shimmer in this deep dark waves ~ Made her hazy vision clear ~ If small pearly reflections ~ Turned her way, like tiny suns ~ Could shine on dark gray days ' .. those words made me sigh!

So I finish at the beginning and don't think for one second that the reverse reading has spoiled your wonderful tale for me. What a sad and terrible past the Green Nyymph had, it's such a dramatic myth. one to remember, one to read through in a gentle light and imagine. Your use of language really is exceptional, wish i could write as well in your language! Congratulations for the entire packet. Now i'll wait for the next chapters, Elisa .. thank you. xx

Dear Emma,

You make me feel very honored with this nice review.
Of a real English sophisticated lady.

I work on chapter 5 now... :)
Thank you dear one for your beautiful review,
You made me really smile.

xoxo
