55-A Dying Mermaid








Standing
Nowhere
Melodies
Beautiful Wails
But no one will know
No one will hear

Words
Lost in the stream
Happily
The air
Shall carry them
 Far Faraway
But they don’t look
They just see

A mermaid’s screams
Drowned by the sea
Let her die there alone
With no one to care        
No one to know

Wonderfully done. You managed to tug on my emotions in just 55 words.

No one hears, no one looks, no one cares or knows. Very bleak 55, stirs the emotions.

My 55 is School Lunch

i want to launch my boat into the bleak sea...
and offer my aid to that aquatic creature...whose very soul cries in pain...!

Kind of a sad 55 here, but very well written. I like it.
