“Sea Creatures”, Pamela Colman Smith, c. 1907

Introduction

This is a Ballade. The form of this poem is meant to feel like the swirling of a sea or maelstrom.

This is another stunning image shared by The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook here:

The music is "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" by The Electric Light Orchestra from their album "El Dorado"

Spirit Of The Sea

🐋🧜‍♀️🌊♎💜♉🌊🧜‍♂️🦈

Waves Rolling On The Blue Ocean

Sailing Ships In The Far Distance

The Mistress Is The Ocean Queen

With Her The Sea Spirits Will Dance

They're Swimming O'er The Sea To France

The Queen Tells Them All To Swim Free

She Is Their Queen, Her Mystic Glance

She Is The Spirit Of The Sea

🧜‍♀️♎💜♉🧜‍♂️

She Conjures Storms, Seas In Motion

Sailors Try To Keep Their Distance

Davy Jones Waits In The Ocean

Their Ships Are Sunk In This Expanse

Sinking In Their Funeral Dance

Drowned Treasure Chests Down There Will Be

Just Beyond The Ocean Queen's Glance

She Is The Spirit Of The Sea

🌊♎💜♉🌊

Seven Seas And Five Great Oceans

She Is The Queen, She Is The One

Conjuring The Water's Motion

Threatening Ships In the Distance

That May Catch Her Majestic Glance

She And Her Spirits, Truly Free

To Play With The Waves As They Want

She Is The Spirit Of The Sea

🧜‍♀️♎💜♉🧜‍♂️

'Ware Sailors, Watch The Ocean Dance

The Waves Will Take You, Wait And See

The Queen's Mystical Countenance

She Is The Spirit Of The Sea

🐋🧜‍♀️🌊♎💜♉🌊🧜‍♂️🦈
