In October 1998 I won a Poetry Contest, based on the picture below, sponsered by Tisher. It is re-created here for your enjoyment!

Alone in the splendored depth,
she gazes upward toward the silvered sea.
The moon rises and casts its wondrous light upon the surface.
It is calm, it is still.
Her eyes travel the silken surface.
It is time !!

With majestic movements she glides, causing no breaking
of tension on the surface.
Her snow-white tresses stream out behind her.
Her crown sits regally on her head.
It is time !!


Luminous eyes blue as the sea itself soften with love
as she beholds her vast " Kingdom of the Sea ",
for this is her magic realm.
Her court awaits her this coming night,
as a lover awaits the approach of their beloved.


On the night of the full moon enchantment reigns supreme.
As the tides run full and high, all life in the sea
is in tune with her as she is with them.
Her lips part and issue forth a melody,
wondrously exquisite filled with a
"pure ecstasy of being".


The song runs across the surface,
calling unto her, all life in the sea.
It is a song no one else can sing
and no mortal man can hear !
The song plunges beneath the sea and down...
down into the depths where the great whales rest.


All creatures hear the melody and move towards
the delicious creature who summons them.
Such joy and happiness is in the melody.
Its alluring sounds no one can resist.
The court is now complete.


Dolphins swim a merry circle around their Princess
and the tiny, baby dolphins sit upon her hands,
then leap off, into the shimmering sea
and magically rise into the air to glide,
effortlessly, upwards toward the full moon.
She kisses them in a sweet kiss of delight,
to speed them on their journey.


Sharks, with their glistening black eyes,
swim their own dance of love for her.
Marlin, shining with their rainbow colors,
leap in joy as she sings the "magic song".
Seals and porpoise frolic as the night now is passing.
The moon moves in its endless journey to the west.


Her beauty and song radiate out over the sea
and the great " Orion " watches.
A dazzling comet races through the heavens,
the Universe is alive in its splendor.
But Morning comes ...
It is time !!


She slides now beneath the surface and a smile
of utter Love is on her lips.
She will return when the moon is full
to sing her timeless song again.
The court departs, the sun is slowly rising.
The Princess descends to her hidden home beneath the sea
and will come again.....When ... it is time !!
