sadness
suspended by the cool sea
blue on blue
restorative
warm earth anchors
soil sanded tones
floating
directionless
ebb and flow
hope
believe
you can sail
on terra firma
Seabiscuit Shell
delicate daughter as a wayward mermaid – one of my favorite photos
seabiscuit shell created a few months ago after staring at my Breyer’s horse collection that shares my studio (yes, I keep plastic horses – in my defense – they are very pretty)
Maybe a Triple Crown…

I really love the images evoked by this poem. I love the sea.

And what’s wrong with collecting Breyer’s horses, I ask? I love your beautiful mermaid…and your poem. Happy weekend – Fawn

You know I’m kind of a “numbers nut” and I happened to notice your post was delivered at 11:11 today. If you didn’t know, 11:11 is a very good, power/mystical number. This poem seems to be very powerful, mystical, too, and I love it. Your daughter really does look like a mermaid, btw. 😀 Great art, as usual. I think I could almost set my dinghy to sail by this piece.

I figured you nutty, but not numbers nutty;) I kid!
Thank you, Deb. I’ve had oceans on the brain of late. Must be the pending summer break…I need salty water 🙂
I love that pic of Caroline. It was taken at Lake Champlain – home to Champy the Lake Monster. I believe we were looking for him that day.
Let’s add nice big sails to those dinghies of ours. I call polka dots!

I’m nutty in all “numbers” of ways (sorry, had to). Years ago I had a story published entitled “Numerology” (if I can find, I’ll send just for kicks). Got to have water, salty, fresh, even chlorinated (well?). It really does look like Caroline has a tail underneath her. 🙂 And darnit! Wouldn’t you just know it — I wanted the polka dots! 😉

Plastic horses are good. The plastic soldiers can ride them! I’m more of a Teddy Bear person myself.

When I was little, I had to have all my stuffed animals with me when I went to sleep. If one rolled off, I’d be to afraid to pick it up for fear of monsters under the bed.
Have a lovely weekend.

Umm.. sounds really interesting!
I hope you’ve seen the movie / read the book- “Night at the Mueseum”, speaking of which, is a unusual story! Good to watch.
Thank you, Miss AnnMarie, Nice to hear from you!

Well, everything nice & fine here.
Be wary then, it would cause a problem it your horses were to gallop Helter-skelter. You might consider tying them. You don’t have the mueseum tablet, do you?
