In Ghana mermaids are known as ‘mame water’ – mother water or woman from the water. Popularly believed to have evil powers luring young men and women under the sea for spiritual control. The mermaid is wildly believed to be inhabited by powerful marine spirits out to destroy one’s destiny if invoked.
These are spiritual matters that may not have bearings on scientific proofs. I have a few pastor friends who might enlighten me. I shall let you know. 🙂
How pensive she looks, Gilly. Fabulous photo and I love your perfect haiku. 🙂
Oh bless her, poor, sad little mermaid! Great photo, emotive lines! 🙂
So tragically beautiful! 🙂 Love the new look Gilly!
Super, super photo and haiku (though a bit sad). I want her! Where can I find her?

Your challenge is to find her in St Ives 😀😀😀
Oh, boy now that is some challenge… but I accept. It may be a while though 🙂
Your photo is a standout. I feel for little pearl as I look at her face. Good one.
And yes, the blog has a crisp look today with a bold font.

Over to you, Gilly. 🙂
I know sis, I’ve written the start of a novel about her ! Any more info you have about her would be gratefully received x😀x

Just so beautiful! Love the photo and the poem, Gilly. 🙂
The littlest mermaid! 🙂 Pearl has a lovely face, sadly besmirched. A story to come, Gilly?
Such a pretty and pensive face and the words are so sad.
