Siren Song

An original poem about the dangers of military active sonars in the ocean. Ocean noise pollution is a critical issue and effects all marine life. Lucia Comnes wrote this poem in 2001 to bring attention to the cause of many whale strandings around the world. She has performed the poem to audiences in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. In 2007 a team of high school students in the Communications Academy of Drake High School, San Anselmo, California, produced the performance into a short film. The film was made as a promotional piece for Seaflow: Protect Our Living Oceans - the only organization in the U.S. dedicated to addressing the issue of ocean noise pollution. www.seaflow.org

it funny cause real sirens (mythilogical) dont have vilolins they sing with thier voice and no bells

[TheCryptidman]

@princessmcdoy Actually, Sirens are women that can turn into sea nymphs. They can breed with mermen to make a mix between mermaids and sirens, and that is where the "evil mermaids" came from.

@princessmcdoy some sirens were also depicted as part bird like in the stories of Odysseus ^_^

Noooo...I love mermaids and greek mythology and I can tell you that a siren is an evil mermaid who holds a grudge against sailors who kill their friends and sing to make them go overboard. Just watch Simbad, you'll get the idea. I can also tell you that the half women half birds are called harpies. Vile creatures that smell of rotton eggs and steal food from innocent human beings. The Greek gods would use them to punish humans who did something that displeased them. But you got the mermaid part!

I saw on the news in england that 30 dolphins miseriouly were killed and washed up on a beach in the south west. this was probably a likely cause. they all came unually into shore.

If you watch the video the word Siren is the word for the sound...like a siren on a police car. SO your post doesn't really make any sense here so I'm guessing you didn't really watch the video. watch it :P

Lucia that was BEAUTIFUL!

Sadly, people don't understand that Sirens are half bird, half woman. Most people think it's half woman, half FISH, which makes no sense because that's what a mermaid is.
