this is one of my most peer praised on the poetry sites i post to
based on mermaid stories which are based on sodden mermaid paintings such as above
find I do not write conceits or odes only confusions of existing myths
Zennor is a sea port village in Cornwall famed for its mermaid romance and commemorative carving of mermaid in the local church
as you can see the poem is not romantic
Zennor morning
I find you a mermaid
Rip her fish
We had not dreamt of mythology
And of the thoughtless
standing chained in the quicken
deep
A ship burns on the
water
Daybreak still in
incident
