Nixies enticing
Wanderers at the shore once
More, ritual failed.

As a child, they called me a nixie, because they never got me out of the water, when visiting the sea side.

That was before life's waves crashed over me.

A #hazardous mix
of #science
and dark alchemy,
created a #nix
inside me,
a tricksy
shadow creature,
a sin dweller within

her position
to #inform me
of any mischief
I can get in,
my role to resist
temptation
though I don't
always win.

We're still in the sea, but today it's getting a little more sinister.

The #blueskyrelay #prompt for the 14th November is #nixie / #nix

Do you dare delving into the deep?

Looking forward to your replies.

If you wanna take over as host next week, drop me a DM!

Poor sailors see fins,
And fear what swims beneath the hull,
Below cold hands wait.

I turned the faucet
Achy bones craved a bath
But instead came a merrow
Where water should pass
He was smaller than expected
And my bones were still achy
So now he’s shacking up
With my sea monkey

I'm here to #collect the debt

that #stare made my heart #plummet
this night see no #tender glance
all business, no game set
the #merrow was merciless
it wanted its cap returned
no substitute was the same
fire for vengeance within burned

I read HCA's famous fable "The Little Mermaid" translated into Irish as An Mhaighdean Bheag Mhara.

A Galway #merrow trades her cochaillín draíochta to a brandy-soaked murúch fir who keeps souls in lobster pots.

"Jaysus, that's fierce painful!" she screams, walking on her human legs.

It's said
In days before
The #number
Of #merrow
Started to #plummet
One could sit
On the rocky coast
At any hour
Of the gloaming
And watch them
Crawl out onto shore
Singing for men
The sparkle
Of their #stare
Luring the weak
To a watery doom

Given up for love,
Merrow no more in fin,
She walks a razor edge,
Haunts the tide line,
Her song silent,
Heart given to wander,
Mermaid in story,
Salt spray tears,
Ocean longing,
Her toes sunk in sand.

“No! Don’t #plummet, drift.”
“Yes, mother.”
“And don’t #stare, glance and move. What #number were we on?”
“Three.”
“Okay, three lift, four swirl, five, no. Not swish, not #crab, swirl. There you go.”
“Yes, mother.”
“You’ll be a proper #fairy, I tell you!”

In the shower's warmth I remember
How the water looked underneath
How the sky grew dim as we dove
We of the salt and cold sea water
Water babies grown into water souls
We are one of the many shapes of water
Go down to the shore
Slide back into water
Merman mermaid into merrow

No one but I can comprehend your radiance.
Star of mine, oh, how you shine.
The heavens above were robbed of your soul.
They cry out: come back home.
#Merrow of the sky, iridescent scales so fair.
Mermaid on land, please don't die chipping for air.

#Merrow

From sea rose his silhouette
strode he to the shore
embrace love in minuet
holding hope once more

Dined did they with vinaigrette
sipped wine glasses poured
as adored his suffragette
washed to water's core

A lonely merrow
Forever trapped on land
She drags her feet
Slowly through the sand
She cries out to the sea
Her former life
That will never be
Her cohuleen druith
Taken by a selfish man

I thought that he was a #merrow too;
a being ‘tween land and sea.
But he chose the land so long ago
and abandoned that part of me.
Now I try to find the cap he lost,
the magic that made us divine.
But society charges the highest cost,
and I now see he'll never be mine.

Why the huge #faucet?
It’s for the #merrow. She wants to wash the salt out of her hair.
We have a merrow? Since when?
Since Declan caught her in his fishing net last night.
Well, where is she?
Sleeping.
Yeah, right. This is just another one of your #fairy tales.

Listen to the #merrow weep
As all her kind have gone to sleep
Far above the waves caught in nets
While the fisherman all place bets

I heard out here tale and let her be
To make sure no one else would see
As all her kind have gone to Siri
Listen to the merrow weep

who is that
on the lone rocks?
A fisherman
or is that a #merrow
his fish tail hidden
in the water
watching those on the shore
and yearning to walk
among us?

Do merrow folk dream
of land creatures with two legs
strange mobility?

During my time in Ireland, our landlord showed us around the area. At a little harbour, I don't remember exactly where, a merrow peeked out of the water. It was wearing it’s seal coat, but the creature, and I, knew what we saw, when our eyes met.
