Sirens' Song

No man is immune
to the sirens' song.
While love seems to
radiate from the shore,
hearts and ships are
dashed on the rocks and
drenched in the sea.

  5. Jess, this is a very beautiful use of the prompt words. My mom used to say she and I (both singers) were descended from sirens! It's the old Irish blarney, methinks! Thanks for a poem that, read aloud, is even lovelier than on the screen. Amy

  6. Sheilah - thanks
    Amy - I'm so glad you read it aloud. Some poems do better just in print, but some are much better when heard. Your mom sounds like a pretty funny lady.
