I need to know what your mermouse looks like. For a second or two I pictured a cat sized whiskered tailed mermaid pet...with oversized ears?
A likeable rather cuddly water companion? I guess I need to check out the Martha rendition.
Liked it, Esther

Mermaids, just from your title, notes, tone and theme's imagery...This is
captivating verbiage (without the picture/art) of an ekphrastic poem... An
enchanting fantasized romantic encounter/relationship. I imagine what a
picture would bring to this post! Get that blasted computer to do your biding. teafor2

That is a first for me. I have never heard of a met mouse before. But isn't that the beauty of imagination? It really can take us anywhere we can think of.

Great piece. This was enjoyable!

Now I want a mermouse! Such a cute poem and very descriptive prose. This would make an excellent idea for a children's book. Thanks for sharing your work. Nicely written.

I wish I could see that painting, but you did an excellent job of painting her with your words. I attended an art class yet, but all I painted was a lifeless vase with flowers. I see you are doubly talented, s painter with paint, and also with words!

Great verse. This poem presents a unique and enchanting response to the prompt. The word pictures depict a whimsical message. The poet's choice of language is effective. Well done. This reader hopes to enjoy more such verse.

I enjoyed reading your poem. I'm not sure what a mermouse is though. Poem has good rhyming. The art class sounds interesting. Very good job on this

Excellent

Your fantastical mind plunges into deeper waters with the meremouse. The little sea creature brings you comfort and calm in the briny seas. Of note:
but her waters
are mellow, soothing
a soft blanket of saltiness
she invites me to jump
into her ocean world

Magnificent, my talented friend of the sea.

Sending you my best today as always,
Sal Xos
