The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
Quickly capturing their attention
Three lovely ladies of the sea
Luring sailors from safety
Taunt and beguile with song
Each man unknowing
That death follows
When sirens
Sweetly
Sing

Those teeth, beware. Perhaps the menace of not seeing, not knowing.

Prompts are a surprise to me sometimes…I had one that was difficult this week, so I understand. Do you always excel like this when things are tricky? ❤🤗☺
