To Swim With You In Your Selkie Skin
To See Your Beauty In Blue Waters
Graceful You Are, Without And Within

More stories from Mike Singleton ๐ Mikeydred and writers in Poets and other communities.
Arc-En-Ciel
Introduction The phrase "Arc-En-Ciel" which I am guessing means "Arch of the Sky" and is French for Rainbow. I thought that would be a great starting point for a poem about things that raise our hearts and spirits to make us feel good about ourselves.

I'm really digging that thumbnail, Mike. Pretty dope. It's a nice love song about somebody falling in love with a selkie. Reminds me of a old story I heard from long ago. In that story a woman marries a selkie and she had a son with him, and she never let's her son go swimming because she's afraid that he'll never return. In the end, she has to though to rescue her husband cause he's on a boat at sea without his suit. So, the son reacues the father, along with the rest of the crew, but the son is still at sea. Would You ever make a poem based on that story, Mike?
Great work! Fantastic and well written! Swimming!
Hard to say which I liked better, the poem or the song--& I loved the song!
