Comment on The Mermen by PrettyThings9
become a merman/maid! that's what i'd do.
drowning is a very unusual topic for an anthology. are the poems all literal drowning and water, or are some metaphorical in nature?

hahaha, this sounds like a truly excellent plan!
well, i've had a very strange relationship with water and drowning for a very long time...i was born in water so being in it feels like coming home in a lot of ways...and i find my poetry turns back to it again and again.
some are, some aren't. all are metaphorical though, even this one; some are just more obvious than others

ah, i kind of understand what you mean in your relationship with water... in regards to snow. although i don't tend to write about snow. but snow feels like home more than any building, or person, if that is what you mean?
these sound like very interesting poems and a very interesting anthology!

oh wow, how come? if you don't mind me asking... yes, it's a very primal feeling, i think...
hahah, i hope so! thank you!

i'm not sure why i don't tend to write about snow... but i feel so close to snow because i've been a snowboarder since i was six years old, and everytime something bad has ever happened, snowboarding has fixed it. i guess i don't tend to write about it because it's almost too personal, eh?
ah yes, i see... this is very true... i tried to not write about drowning/water for a while cos it's such a wierd fixation and few understand it. but you can always harness the emotions it inspires? 
true. very true. hmph. perhaps i will try this...
it's not THAT odd of a fixation. i've seen many odder. it's interesting, actually, especially what with you being born in water and all.
