I see what you did there in the middle line😂 And I love that there’s a joke in the middle of this contractual language kind of underscoring the farce these “relationships” were. Really cool🖤
Thank you!! A lot of the stories are pretty sad, but I also love that there are supposedly whole families of these seal people under the waves. It’s fun to daydream about 😶🌫️😜
Beauteous creature
My theft will seal the bargain
Unnatural love

Selkie seal of approval
Graciously granted.
Whisker- wiggles and ruses
Rushes to enrich men’s wishes.
Hey, the lighter side of selkies🖤
...until she finds where he hid the sealskin.
And then she’s off…
The skin of my soul
Is but a shadow of self
Wear it not, I pray
Ooo, this is very eerie, the idea of someone else wearing your skin. I love this take🖤
Fun take Honeygloom. This one is such a sad lore in a way.

Shapeshifter stripped bare
She will never stop yearning
For her stolen skin

They emerge, unbound
Slip through ephemeral forms
You were made to shift
Beautiful, as always, I particularly love the pov shift in the third line of the second poem. So cool to bring the reader into the fantasy that way🖤
I use a computer, so no autocorrect.
No, selfie.
Ah! Ok! Well it’s funny both ways😂 And I love the rhymes you’ve got going on!
Thank you!!
I took a selfie
When I was young and healthy**
Age creeps so stealthily
**I ain't old and sick (yet!). Doing comedy here, people...
😂Thanks for clarifying. Did you mean, “I took a selkie”? Autocorrect is a bitch on this one. Did it to me several times😂
Sorry, I took a liberty with your prompt. The selkies made me do it!
