The Mag 289 - Sea and shells

George Tooker, Self-portrait with shell
Magpie Tales

Sea
And shell
Seen
Through eyes 
of sea blue.

See
Me
here
with shell
of pearly white.

Why
you
and not
a mermaid
in sea
green.

Why
paint
yourself
and not shells
alone
on sandy beach.

    The thought if a mermaid in 'sea green' is intriguing. Mermaids are good!

    I wondered why, too.

    Nice one. I liked this quite a bit. Had a nice staccato rhythm to it. :-)

    I guess sometimes we need to recognise ourselves...

    Something to think about
    Nice work

    We both used sea to describe his eyes! Cool!
