Beckoned by Twilight, the Sirens called
“Come to the island with frozen sand
You can walk on water, sweet voices sang
The river is down, and the current runs thin…”
With my ears verily tortured, I nearly took the plunge
Deluged by temptations, as the Sirens’ songs were sung
“Think of the photos from the frozen sand
Surrounded by water that moseys along
Reflecting the moonlight like polished glass
Come to us! Come to us! Come to us! Come…”

Spunk: “What’s this sick Sirens’ songs sung stupidity you’re spewing, Paparazzo? You know you can’t walk on water. Trying to take some funky photos surrounded by water while standing on frozen sand is not worth drowning for. Besides, if you end up as a bottom feeder in the Rio Grande, who’s going to feed me?”

Ha ha ha, we’re with Spunk!
Not into poetry? Thanks, Couriers.
Purrfect pics, kits and words.
Thanks, Shey.
Splendid photos, and I love the poem!
Thanks, Liz. I’m happy you liked the poem.
You’re welcome, Tim.
so lovely…the light is magical, great captures Tim
Thanks, Sylvia.
Rousing river ruminations.
Thanks, Brad. The river rouses ruminations.
😀
Spunk has his priorities. Dragon Kitty looks like Toothless in How to Train Your Dragon and those shots, all of them are gorgeous. The golden reflection is mesmerising… best you stick to the shore and not be tempted…
I’m so happy you saw the Toothless look in Gwendolyn’s eyes. Those sirens sweetly singing are hard to resist. Of course, Odysseus had to be tied to the mast to resist the temptations of the Sirens’ songs. The Rio Grande’s Sirens are wimps.
That I did! They truly are… Hah! The Rio Grande is not Grande enough to attract the stronger ones, I guess 😉
There are lots of sirens in that beautiful frozen landscape, Tim! Spunk does a point about not becoming a bottom feeder though!
Lovely post!
Thanks, Dawn. Jake and I are out with your namesake every morning.
A lovely image with a gorgeous poem. Spunk did have a point about the dangers of frozen land – haha
Spunk tries to claw some sense into me. He knows where his food comes from. Thanks, Joni.
Those Siren’s words are fabulous Tim!
Spunkie-Poo 💋, coyotes or amazing photos can’t steal this one from you.
Spunk did take well to the sirens and walking on water. Thanks, Resa.
Fab writing!
It should have been Spunk did not take well…
Spunk sure has given it to you Tim!
A real kitty tongue lashing. Thanks, Julie.
