Poem: "Black Swan Lake"

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is the freebie for the September 2017 crowdfunding Creative Jam. It was inspired by a prompt from wyld_dandelyon. It also fills the "merfolk" square in my 9-1-17 card for the Pirate Fest bingo.


"Black Swan Lake"


She swims,
her long neck
a graceful curve,
her black feathers
sleek and unruffled.

Sometimes,
she changes.

She swims,
her two feet
now a single fin,
her black breasts
bobbing in the water.

In both forms, she
is the secret mistress
of Black Swan Lake.

Notes:

See the black swan in bird form and mermaid form.

Mermaids appear in legends from around the world, including Africa.
