She came from the sea

She came from the sea

She came from the sea, one-eyed and
beach-cast, into a Nintendo earth,
that no longer cares for dolls,
or others of such lowly birth.

Her element-exposed limbs torn,
by a mariner crazed with lust or hate,
who, drunk off the coast of France,
sealed her watery fate.

But then, the passing image-maker,
with pixel-precision-eyes spots the prize,
and rearranges her manikin parts,
to best show her saline demise.

Image-sated, he casts her to the tide,
And she, now free of this new knave,
floats briefly, and Norse-like,
before re-sinking to her cold silent grave.

    The poem goes very well with the shot, Rob. Loved the pose and the treatment you gave to the shot. Stay well, my friend. :D
    Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

    Great photo... brings back memories of a stuff animal I found while on a mission trip in Duff, TN (Appalachia).

    I don't believe it... you have done it again. Talk about Jekyll and Hyde. Perhaps you could use my doll image (above) next time?
