My poetry group had an assignment to visit the art museum and find a piece that inspires us to write. I thought I wouldn't find anything but I found four paintings that intrigued me. One them was a painting of a beautiful and naked mermaid in the sea among fish. Some how this fueled an animal like passion inside me and that's what this poem is about.
WOMAN OF THE SEA
Woman of the sea. You are all
I want to see. naked as you swim
among the fish. I gaze upon you
as I would a tasty dish.
You are so lovely. My attention
is in your captivity. I am
aroused by your beauty.
You are a fantasy. My
desire for you has no place
in reality.
