Legendary are my Movements,Smooth as silk they are,With subterfuge I allay strangers,Bold strength and speed make me hard to catch.
The company I keep likes to roam,We dabble afoot near green orchards to gaze or dream amongst the stars,Forbidden are my dreams,Deadly are my movements,With my flood of tears a bringer of death I will be.
Mischief may bring my tears but dancing to another tune is what brings the worst fates,A melody to glide to,A touch to belie to,A moment of spying,The magic brings my death or yours.

I pondered the mermaids, too, but kept coming back to the idea of a Movement being more of song with parts. The tears kept throwing me, so I started thinking about comic book characters and mythical creatures that shapeshifted... Broadening the idea of movement. Still can't connect the tears, so figured I'd read a little deeper!!!
ReplyDeleteSome mermaids where known to cry as they kissed and drowned their victims. Literally drowning them in their tears.
Movements (swimming and singing) smooth as silk in water.

ReplyDeleteAnd obviously in the water they are strong swimmers a little too bold for their own good, spying on young innocent men.
well maybe not innocent but men.
And as for the magic brings my death or yours. Consider the original version of the little mermaid. Technically she was to marry him or die. Then the sea witch gave her a second choice, after he found another princess. She could kill him and she would live or she would turn to foam. Anther version gives her the option to kill him or spend 300 years trying to redeem herself.
ReplyDeleteAh ha! That I didn't know, and had gone down that path of research, just didn't find. Even looked at the Sealies in North European folklore. The Merpeople had the largest history. I should have read more.
ReplyDeleteTotally saw the various play of movements. Nice. Was surprised in myself for picking up on it.
Yeah. Likely not so innocent.
Asian people have other versions of My little mermaid that are equally as grimm as the original versions and even the grimm fairy tales. Either way until disney they where creatures to fear not to day dream about having sex with. I also like some of the recent australian netflix tv series. Mako mermaids is totally for teens but I love it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I never saw the little mermaid. Was drawn to the sirens ability to lure sailors in to their death and the power they had in the Odyssey. They have never been seen, with the exception of tv, all that romantic...but manipulative and dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got it. I constantly worry that I'm making them too hard, but I had a set of terms I refused to use (sailor, love, foam, water, and anything to do with sea life)
I purposely talked about walking on land and it being forbidden but ... never mentioned water other than tears. I thought the drowning part was clever.
