mermaids
fill each shining shell
with sea song
Copyright 2017 Brenda Davis Harsham
Notes: I’m over my NaNoWriMo goal of 30K words, but still writing my final climactic scene. I hope you are having a fun and productive month.
I took this photograph at a small shop opposite the Monterey Aquarium, and I wish I had written down the name. It was full of fairy tale treasures and sea shells.

Lots more photos from the shop to come. I really should have written it down and given it credit. I was in vacation mode, though.

OH! I just finished shooting La Esencia de Titania on a not professional model, but I really like that. Got some great shots.

It is somewhat terrifying when we realize that we haven’t even explored it in its entirety. Who knows, maybe there are mermaids out in the depths of the sea

This is a great idea for a fairy tail story of a song in a shell.

How many fairy tales are haiku-length? LOL It’s a challenge writing such tiny tales.

I was thinking of a longer story with more details, but I see your point.
