El Ni·ño Renga
(linked haiku)
1
from tidal warming
in the winter of my birth—
deluge to downpour
2
coming up for air
in the rushing waves' escape—
kelp beds where I lay
3
even in my sleep
these underwater senses—
riding the currents
4
gazing at the moon
connecting with her phases—
my other mother
5
years of endless drought
gone into hiding for now
never far behind
6
return to winter
celebrating in the rain
of the El Ni·ño

A fine one for the mermaid archives, reminding me a bit of the rebirth subtext to Hendrix' "A Merman I Should Turn to Be."
Your lines are just as potent and more elegant with the haiku format.

my other mother
Mine too Jade, and I might come from her dark side. Excellent write.

Thank you dear Thom, for your expression & support of the set's image, of how you join me where the storms are welcome.

The Little Boy
And it's mother
a renga
like no other!
of course, for it had to be from the pen of Jadey! Whale 🐳 said it best!
