Many different aspects of soul-searching for every reader to interpret.
my child hated this poem as much as the ice age baby
I loved the poem, the words draw your attention. Captivating you more and more as you read on, I was mad when it ended, for my eyes wanted to read more... -Miracle N. Morris
So interesting, all of the different views... This is not about mermaids, nor drunks, but rather the unwilling loss of innocence. The way someone can take your soul... (I have always thought of this poem metaphorically.)

This is a poem about rape. After the men raped her, she drowned herself. 'She was like a mermaid taken by drunk sailors'
how sad. very good poem, this is true, people can be so cruel to that wich is alien, yet harmless and beautiful.
speaks so true of people who do not know how to love, pablo. love this.
I love this poem so much...it saddens me though. It is definitely one of my favourite.
For some reason this poem moves me to tears, it saddens me so greatly that people are so cruel
