Poem of the Day: “The Martian Merman’s Ghost” by Ross Balcom, Frequent Contributor

The Martian Merman's Ghost

Ross Balcom

The ghost

of a Martian

merman speaks to the red

planet, as a sad child to its

mother:

"Cradle

me in your dry

seabed, let me recall

the joys I knew in oceans lost

in time."

Poet's Notes: A Martian, a merman, and a ghost, all rolled into one. You're welcome.
