In That Moonlit Night Standing In The Abaft, Watching The Towed Flaccid Wooden Raft, I Thought That I Saw An Angel Resting, Lying Exhausted There In That Craft. I Call The Girl Out Unbeknownst Of Her Kind Name, "Hey Young Lady!!" To Which She Didn't Much Respond, She Looked Up Towards Me Once In Anguish & Collapsed, I See Desperation In Her Amber Eyes & Resolve To Help Her. The Crewmen Had Now Been Doing The Paddles After Resting, I Summon My Captain & Ask, "Do You See That Girl In The Raft?" The Senile Captain Smiles To Say, "Commodore, Better Get Married," I Look Just Clueless To Which He Simply Replies, "There Is No Girl." True He Was As She Had Simply Disappeared, I Started Thinking Of My Sleep Needs That Day, I Looked Around Again In A Hope To Find The Girl, I Had Compromised My Routine As The Commodore. Then I Immediately Realized It Was My Wild Phantasm, Now This Was Just A Plain Illusion Of A Tired Sailor's Mind, No Mermaids Could Have Ever Existed In Reality & Were Fake, I Turned Towards The Deck To Go Back To My Bunk For Sleeping. As I Climbed Down The Stairs To Enter My Room Amazed & Dazed, I Saw Her Standing And Waiting For Me By The Side Of My Bunk, I Accepted That Delusion Of My Mind & Started To Lie Down, She Said, "I'm As Real As Your Thoughts, Don't Fear Me." She & I-Me & Her, Had The Best Time That Night, In The Morning She Was Gone & Was Just Gone, Disappeared Into Thin Air While I Was Asleep, Each Day I So Dearly Long For Her To Return.

He pulled and parked the supply red wagon, then climbed the mast to the captain's cabin. Captain Red is ready for adventure. A quest to collect the world's best treasure. His pirate crew is renowned far and wide. They're rough and tough and they don't ever cry. But none of them boys has the captain's stuff. So don't mess with him, man, cause he don't bluff. This motley crew has achieved many feats, has never suffered a single defeat, and has seen the most incredible things: whales, whirlpools, storms, mermaids, krakens and kings. "Set sail," squaws the boss as he munches lunch and the Ocean Destroyer leaves port Wunche. These rolling green hills are now ocean waves. That blue sky, however, remains the same. ... "Hey Benjamin!" beams the first mate Susanne. Impeding the journey that just began. "We already played this game. It's my turn!" The first mate trumps the captain, Ben will learn. ... Her spacesuit crew is renowned far and wide. They're smart and nice and they don't ever lie. But none of these girls has commander's stuff. So don't mess with her, girl, cause she don't bluff. This brainy crew has achieved many feats, has never suffered a single defeat, and has seen the most incredible things: aliens, black holes, stars, and martian springs. "Lift off!" beams the boss as she munches lunch and the Star Chasing Rocket leaves base Wunche. These rural backyards are now rocky space. That blue sky, however, remains the same. ... "Hey Susanne!" beams the pilot Benjamin. Impeding the flight before it begins. "We already played this game. It's my turn!" The pilot trumps commander, Sue will learn. ... Boys and girls grow up and out the front door. Those children’s games evolve to adult chores; those kiddy lawns to grandparent’s domain. That blue sky, however, remains the same.

On flat bank’s where grass runt reeds grow waiting for rising tide, A lone Heron stealths silently while Gulls cry warning, and dive in to a cold sea air. Phoenix Peanut and Pandora stranded on wet mud bank, wait for their chance to escape but it’s bonds that need to be severed in their quest for freedom. Estuary lights dim and flicker in the distance while closer to shore Mermaids sing on the breath of a storm. Beckoning sailors "come ride the waves" Siren songs of lost souls and shadows “Come with us” on this bursting sea. And they sing with a drowning charm as fishermen launch vessels under a shawl covered wife's watchful eye. And yesterdays widows weep, face rained bright from navigational lights. Ships bell ring in time with a rollicking sea, Pheonix Peanut and Pandora still await their escape but not this night. While the Heron has long fled this great swell. No cries now from gulls nor mothers hurrying their little ones to the safety of their coal fired warm homes. Just the rage of wave riding mermaids that will have their bounty the heart and souls from a fisherman life.

Laugharne
Soft melodies of the deep sea echo Moonlight dances on my pretty scales And icy bubbles whirl under my chest Through my slippery hair And down into my lungs to clear the way for overflowing foam Laughter splashes behind my lips as my anticipation rises Waiting for a night of twisted fairy-tales and uncalled for surprises. Shimmering bodies swarm in spirals Grinding in unison with the waves crashing at the surface We're anxious for overflowing foam and hidden treasures Purple light pierces the dark like shards of crystals Casting a ghostly shade on bulbous faces Pressure rises as each wave surges Whirlpools of hot breath suffocate our gills But the sidelines are shallow And stragglers float motionless Hair like seaweed at the nape of his neck Unbuttoned linen soaked and dripping Her hollow eyes glow green Like the jelly orbs of a fish under florescent lights She’s pressed against a boy who has hooks for fins Searching for the parts that are edible Tender, Scale-less, Slippery Nothing wrong with being the catch of the day Right? Bubbles rise and pop as the last melodies drown Schools of us are begging for shiny hooks and bad decisions A handsome boy has been smiling all the while He’s caught in a fisherman’s net Craving salty lips and the spell to make him a man But fisherman don't care for little mermaids With hearts like sea glass and no hidden treasures to steal Sweaty fins splash and cheer The fishbowl shatters Sea glass spills out onto sand We squirm and flop onto land Gasping without air to breathe As our mouths and ***** thoughts dry in the sun Leaving behind fresh meat without mouths to feed. Rainbow confetti was stuck in the grooves of my scales Wet clothes left on the floor of a steamy bathroom Gasping and moaning into tile With the face of a handsome stranger Because this meat shouldn't go to waste And I'm drunken with desperation For overflowing foam, jewels, and shiny hooks But I'm just another fish in the sea Tumbling in the waves with my rainbow confetti scales.

You are my wind You are my sun The blood in my veins The bones to make me stand I've been drowning And i thought you were my life raft I thought you were my island My safe place to escape But turning away from the water Won't make it go away Running from the sea Won't make it less deep I've grown so used to finding my boat So used to hiding from the tide I panicked when it wasn't there Has my boat sailed away? The panic gave me a cramp Tied weights to me And I began to sink faster How could my boat do this? How could it sail away? But the more I missed my boat The more I needed it to stay But not as safety Not as refuge But a love to share And laugh and grow I still need my boat But not like I did before No more hiding No more dry land I need to swim Because boats are fun And great for days But the sea is a beast That no boat can match No she doesn't care that I'm a mermaid Who fell in love with a fisherman She doesn't care I've spent too much time on dry land I forgot how to use my fins A mermaid that can't swim What a pathetic life it is But she's cruel She wont keep the boats around So don't forget how to swim Don't forget how to use your fins We are strong us mermaids Making deals with sea witches Seducing men to their death All fine folk tales But you have to believe the myth Always been strong Because regardless of what Disney said I can't grow legs I'll always be a mermaid But what use is it if I can't swim When I learn how to swim again I hope my fisherman will come back I hope he hasn't sailed too far away When I'm on deck of our boat again We will dance and sing Maybe have dogs And flowers to remind us of land A piano in the dining room And guitars lining the walls Music will echo They can hear us from land The happy fisher and his happy mermaid Living together again But storms always come Because that's how nature works It rains It snows It storms Than the sun returns This time when the storm comes And makes waves that could touch the moon And I get thrown overboard I won't forget how to swim I'll play with the fish Make friends with sharks And await the return of my beautiful fisherman But you will always be my wind My sun The air in my lungs But soon I will have gills So I can breath when the water comes You can't be my fins anymore You can't be my dry land You can't save me from drowning Because mermaids are free But if you want You can be free with me So please return my beautiful sailor And we can live on our happy boat And I'll be one with the sea Because this sea is a part of me

Mesmerised by an ocean dream, Eternal life, alone and free. Rolling waves, sea pure and clear, Maybe I've found shelter from the storm. A cave that glistens, a loving aura. I no longer need my alibi, Driven to the dream I've always dreamed, Swimming with the mermaids of the open seas.

Mermaids [10w]
1 Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, 2 Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; 3 Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, 4 Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd a way! 5 Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, 6 List while I woo thee with soft melody; 7 Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, -- 8 Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! 9 Beautiful dreamer awake unto me! 10 Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea 11 Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie; 12 Over the streamlet vapors are borne, 13 Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. 14 Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart, 15 E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea; 16 Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, -- 17 Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! 18 Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Underwater Imagination
The first new star flashed waves of blue tonight , securing my belief in the afterlife A grove of ferns lit my imagination For I became a shipwrecked captain - that stumbled upon an island nation Exploring the deep jungle without machete , potable water nor compass Knee deep in mangrove forest Tropical winds whispered and moaned A lean-to of fronds became my maritime home In the presence of a million stars An army of sand ***** paraded before - their newfound master from near and afar Crashing waves lulled a poor sailor to rest The whispers of Poseidon A dream about a lookout in the crows nest Counting orbs in the tail of the Milky Way- with visions of mermaids , ghost ships and rogue waves

Skipper for a Spell ....
When did Wishes become as commonplace as pennies in Fountains? When did Unicorns stop dreaming? In a place where Unicorns can Dream And Stars are Paths And Fat Orange Cats are Sullen Irish Dancing Potatoes With Biscuit Legs and Waterfall Eyes With an Everything complex Due to feeling the Absence of all Whilst having felt an overwhelming Nothing And Ant Butt's full of Honey and Air Pirouette and bend their slim Amber eyed head backwards To see such hopeless Unicorns Dreaming of Trollops and Almosts who don't know what Mermaids are Mermaids that only Sing Underwater And watch Sullen Irish Dancing Potato Boy With Biscuit Legs and Waterfall Eyes And an Everything complex Because Garfield can't figure out If Fat Orange Cat is okay with loving Selfish Harlot Mermaid Or not Maybe we should all just stay Honey-Eyed Harlots And Hero Twin Flames Maybe the penny can be a Wish And the Star's dust pathways And Unicorns can see black instead of Dreams.

Mermaids and Ant Butts and Unicorns and Garfields
My cat child brings order where there was none. Let's not talk about the walnut shell of my womb, empty birthplace of dust. Let's talk about my cat child, proud with powers, handy with struts. Now, listen-- I have forgotten all about you. I've heard that I was in love once, but who knows? Show me the evidence; I'll yawn elaborately, and my cat child will agree that such stuff is dull in the extreme. Dead fish, on the other hand, become more riveting every minute. You would not have understood my cat child. At least, that's my foggy instinct about it. You would have objected to the damage, the **** and the fleas. The rumor is, cats were royal once, and I need the reflected glory and the chance to sleep during the day. Right now, my cat child is away. She is hungry for mice, songbirds, or someone's leg. Me, I don't eat anymore, can't recall why I ever did-- I remember nothing, value nothing, aspire to nothing. But once, The feel of my mouth closing gently over the curve of your soft lower lip seemed such an urgent thing, like warm waves for mermaids, a place I would do anything to get to. Yes once, the sight of your dark hair sent warm honey over my heart, my belly, my *** and everywhere, my love, from my skin to the stars. Now, though, I have forgotten all that. What were we talking about? I have no idea. Now there is only the glare of afternoon and the magnificence of my cat child who has given me nine lives-- none of them worth a **** all as dead in the mouth as a finch with a broken neck.

Having Depression is like finding out that mermaids are real It doesn’t make sense to you until you’re getting dragged to the bottom of the ocean And then you think Oh That’s what this is And I’m drowning now, That’s just……… great And eventually, with your last vestiges of breath left You float back to the surface And you’re fine. And that’s it. Mermaids stop existing again. Because you never actually saw what grabbed you You only felt the claws around your leg The cold, clammy hands tugging With a force that you could never fight against But you never saw her So it was all a dream Right? And it happens again and again You are drowning again and again Until the water begins to feel like home And the only thing reminding you that you are alive Is the burning in your lungs And when everything you had balanced so very carefully starts falling Off the shelves of your life When your “mild” depression starts deciding it wants to be more When being alone makes you feel dead inside And when losing your cool for one ******* second makes you contemplate your own demise When do you admit to yourself that you are slipping You are sinking and just because you can slow your descent Does not mean that you’re not still drowning And at the end of the day just because it took you longer to get there this time Doesn’t mean you aren’t still lying on the ocean floor Devoid of light and sound And if you had just climbed onto that now distant boat and sailed away You’d be fine. But climbing was too hard And sinking is so much easier And you’re scared that if you reach out Your hands will feel clammy and cold As they wrap around your friends throats And drag them down with you And you would rather rot at the bottom of an endless sea Than let that happen So you lie in darkness and wait For a sound The singular resounding sound Of failure And you slowly float back to the surface Take a deep breath And you’re fine. Because mermaids aren’t real It’s all in your head

It is just a fact: My heart is a beached whale Sitting on a dying sun, Waiting on the tide to come, There's a fisherman and a hook Trying to catch me all day Moving his Life on a raft On top of the ocean’s spray Those mermaids been teasing for a **** Just, Swinging feet on a lunar bench Twilight knocking me off, Clouds softly catching a melon lost Sleeping to a dream I knew would believe... the Space Fire I believe is a red comet in love. What are we worth? but precious hearts in a cold dark we find warmth in the fire fed with desire together we can make a great spark. stranger to far off lands, looking back at what i had. falling forward into quicker sands, holding on im scared to stand. ugly moon grabs her tides, thrusting me onward to black skies, and i know i know i know, theres life on mars...

when I'm high I can't control my head when I'm high I go up and up down the lane and I taste mermaids tongues I make the sweet ones cry when I'm  high I shiver and smile when I sense it's over **** me when I'm high

when I'm high
He once asked me, “Do I dare?” To which I reply with quivering hands and wide open eyes “How do we disturb what it is that we are? After all, you yourself are not unlike a star.” You see, all our lives we spend burning away We give others light till the end of our days And everyone else is of star-matter too so can you not say that the universe is you? So yes, we must dare to disturb our own minds. We never know what possibility finds. It may be art or a universe new. The outcome depends on what you will do. So dare if you wish and dare if you will and dare the world until you have had your fill because one of these days all our daring must cease as we turn back to star-matter, reaching our peace. And we flow on and on to the end of all time and the universe finally frees our minds and the mermaids are singing a song just for you and there’s marmalade, teacups, and fresh peaches too and the crest of your life has just truly begun because if you’re a star, then you can be the sun and the light you give off is a beautiful flare. It inspires a young boy to ask, “Do I dare?”

"Do I dare disturb the universe?"
this one girl I used to be friends with, she was so beautiful and never ever did she see it in herself. I used to look at her though, and I used to wish I looked just like her or had a personality as kind and sweet and determined as her. I used to want to be as free of a soul as her and sometimes, even as guarded. It made me sad a lot of the time because she was so depressed and mysterious to me; her life kinda ****** back when I had first met her. I remember we dropped acid together twice and I told her that if ever there was someone I didn’t want to lose, it was her. And then the following year we had a fall out and we don’t talk anymore. I guess people change and that should be okay but sometimes I still wonder about her and what she is doing now and how she spends her friday nights. then there was this other friend, who I may have even considered myself closer with but in a different way. We used to sneak out of my house during sleepovers when we were younger and sit on the curb and share a cigarette. we’d talk about all the people we miss and how afraid we were of the future. I always felt like I hardly knew her even though she shared most of herself with me. the first time I saw her cry was terrifying to me, but I didn’t tell her that. I remember how pretty I thought she was. physically though. and physically alone. She had a lot birthmarks that made her intriguing and skinny legs with pretty knees. however, she was mean and usually very bitter. one time she told me “I hate people until they give me a reason to like them” and hearing that disappointed me. I tried the most to be her friend again after she walked away but it was no use. another friend I had I was friends with since I was six. I knew her from pre school and we were inseparable. I could write paragraphs and paragraphs about how amazing that girl is. I could do the same about how bad I felt for her. she was a friend who I never thought I would lose and I remember we had the type of friendship where our parents used to sign us up to do the same sports (horseback riding, gymnastics). after we stopped being friends I heard she fell off the deep end and was doing a lot of drugs. I got back in touch with her recently however she never seemed interested in hanging out and some of my texts went unanswered so I gave up. when I think about her, I still see my 12 year old self, playing mermaids in her pool as if time had stood still. if any of the people I’m writing about read this post, I hope it’s her most of all. miss you.

I used to want to be as free of a soul as her and sometimes, even as guarded. It made me sad a lot of the time because she was so depressed and mysterious to me; her life kinda ****** back when I had first met her. I remember we dropped acid together twice and I told her that if ever there was someone I didn’t want to lose, it was her. And then the following year we had a fall out and we don’t talk anymore. I guess people change and that should be okay but sometimes I still wonder about her and what she is doing now and how she spends her friday nights. then there was this other friend, who I may have even considered myself closer with but in a different way. We used to sneak out of my house during sleepovers when we were younger and sit on the curb and share a cigarette. we’d talk about all the people we miss and how afraid we were of the future. I always felt like I hardly knew her even though she shared most of herself with me. the first time I saw her cry was terrifying to me, but I didn’t tell her that. I remember how pretty I thought she was. physically though. and physically alone. She had a lot birthmarks that made her intriguing and skinny legs with pretty knees. however, she was mean and usually very bitter. one time she told me “I hate people until they give me a reason to like them” and hearing that disappointed me. I tried the most to be her friend again after she walked away but it was no use. another friend I had I was friends with since I was six. I knew her from pre school and we were inseparable. I could write paragraphs and paragraphs about how amazing that girl is. I could do the same about how bad I felt for her. she was a friend who I never thought I would lose and I remember we had the type of friendship where our parents used to sign us up to do the same sports (horseback riding, gymnastics). after we stopped being friends I heard she fell off the deep end and was doing a lot of drugs. I got back in touch with her recently however she never seemed interested in hanging out and some of my texts went unanswered so I gave up. when I think about her, I still see my 12 year old self, playing mermaids in her pool as if time had stood still. if any of the people I’m writing about read this post, I hope it’s her most of all. miss you.

As the Thunderbolt God Jupiter Saturn’s brother Pursued his loves in disguise The Goddess Hera sat upon her throne Irritated and plotting Gazing with angry jealous eyes Oh, courageous intelligent Athena ****** Goddess of the hunt Dare the foolish to cast eyes upon her unclothed Under the sentence of a tortuous death Its said by many she was not birthed But sprang surprisingly from her father’s head The lovely Aphrodite Would melt the hearts of many a man Who would offer up their life For but a faint touch of her hand The Light God Apollo admirer of the word, reciting poetry Pluck the gold lyres delicate strings While the sea god Poseidon’s twelve daughters Mermaids Dressed in dripping seaweed began to sing Ares of the bold god of war Feared conqueror and great warrior Planted flowers As was his custom in the spring Artemis in fervent haste strung her magical bow For it was pursuit that stirred her blood It flowed through her veins Aged Roman wine Running stags through shadowy woods The gods of the Kings The Gods of the people To whom many sacrifices were made Lived thousands of years beyond the lifespan of man So, say the storytellers of olden times and past days All right Reserved.

The Gods
In my childhood rumors ran Of a world beyond our door— Terrors to the life of man That the highroad held in store. Of mermaids' doleful game In deep water I heard tell, Of lofty dragons belching flame, Of the hornèd fiend of Hell. Tales like these were too absurd For my laughter-loving ear: Soon I mocked at all I heard, Though with cause indeed for fear. Now I know the mermaid kin I find them bound by natural laws: They have neither tail nor fin, But are deadlier for that cause. Dragons have no darting tongues, Teeth saw-edged, nor rattling scales; No fire issues from their lungs, No black poison from their tails: For they are creatures of dark air, Unsubstantial tossing forms, Thunderclaps of man's despair In mid-whirl of mental storms. And there's a true and only fiend Worse than prophets prophesy, Whose full powers to hurt are screened Lest the race of man should die. Ever in vain will courage plot The dragon's death, in coat of proof; Or love abjure the mermaid grot; Or faith denounce the cloven hoof. Mermaids will not be denied The last bubbles of our shame, The Dragon flaunts an unpierced hide, The true fiend governs in God's name.

Mermaid, Dragon, Fiend
catch me like a fish everlasting supplier of light rays- warming the soul like a cup of hot tea on a sleepy sunday afternoon - melancholic - swaying the universe the mermaids sing in the mornings mesmerizing the sailors and i am the singer and the mesmerized i am free. i am free from the ropes. free from the chains of a dreary existence. i can feel it i can feel it on the tip of my eyelashes with the swells of tears pouring out. - renewal - - relief - i am a good girl. listener of tall tales and fantasies. spur of the moment night crawler caller. i spin a beautiful web of fantastical clouds. from ropes to cakes. pick your poison. i am a bad girl. keeper of secrets. silent truths bundled under creative happiness and weakly disguised love affairs. - blink and it’s over - i’ll lie in your lap and watch you write- spinning fantastical tales of glorious awakenings. new beginnings.- pull my hair up to attention. i am here. i am wanted. want want grab me. want//need. clever disguises. silent truths. wispy truths. childhood pencil marks. pig tail sneakers. truth drops into heads. eyes drop onto the floor. teeth sink into lips. heart drops into stomach. limbs fold over limbs and the being falls slowly upon itself. when i wasn’t mine. she wanted me more than she could stand. stabbed me with a ************* pencil. made my heart drop into my ************* stomach.

melancholic mermaid love affairs
When it comes to matters of the heart it pays to be both wise and smart. Be proactive and take care of vulnerable hearts who take Love’s dare. Perhaps a stress test would be smart before old Cupid slings his dart. Be sure your pulse is strong and steady Not weak and racing and unready Take Flax seed oil as a precaution, before you dip into that Ocean besides the undertow of emotion. The mermaids that beset your dinghy may tend to be a little clingy The sea of love is cold, I’ve found Tho oft I’ve floundered, I’ve never drowned

Being weird is important to me. I find it's a gift because it means that you are different than everyone else. I know I am weird because not very many 9th girls have my hairstyle. I say weird things. Instead of saying, what's up, I say "wasabi". I tell corny jokes. I'm weird because I like hugs and not very many teenagers like hugs. I'm weird because I eat olives and sunflower seeds, for snack. I'm weird because I believe in fairy tales characters like mermaids, fairies and unicorns though people tell me that they're not real. I'm weird because I'd rather read a good book than watch T.V. I'm weird because I have at least 20 nerd glasses and 5 snap backs. There are so many ways to be weird. I'm the weirdest person I know so I'll use myself as an example. I know I'm weird because not very many girls have dreads at 14 years old. I also say weird things. Instead of "what's up? "I saying "wasabi". I also tell corny jokes that I know aren't funny like, what did the penguin say when his friend asked "why did you slap me? ! " He said, ¨I didn't slap you, I high fived your face." It's not all that funny is it ….Thats why its weird to say it. I'm weird because I like to give hugs to show someone I care, but others only do that with boyfriends and girlfriends. A ****** like me might have a fairytale land of their own, where fairies, mermaids and unicorns live. I have a fairytale land of my own, full of candy canes and gumdrops, fairies, mermaids and unicorns. I have a black unicorn with a green and neon yellow horn, green tail, and a neon yellow mane. His name is Lucky. His favorite snack is Skittles and, his favorite food is graham crackers. His favorite drink is strawberry milk. We have dinner under my tree full of hearts. I'm weird because all that I just said is childish, but I don't care. A ****** like me might rather read a good book than watch television. A ****** like me might have twenty pair of nerd glasses and five snapbacks. A ****** like me might not wear dresses, skirts, or shorts. A ****** like me might write books and poems.A ****** like me might fall on purpose to make someone laugh. A ****** like me might like school. A ****** like me might stare into space without noticing. I do this five times a week for at least two minutes; weird right. A ****** like me may dance, sing, or look up at the sky randomly without knowing. I'm me and you're you. I'm not you and you're not me. So, please don't judge weirdo's for being who they are because they're gonna be them and you're gonna be you because that's how its suppose to be. So how weird are you? I bet it is not weirder than me.

Antonia is such a good swimmer, She often swims in the sea, Where she met a friendly dolphin, Who she invited back for tea. There were plates of jam sandwiches, Ice-cream, with jelly in a fancy dish, Vanilla slices and chocolate cake, Oh, and of course, lots of fish. Then the dolphin shared a story, Of a far off-distant land, Even though his voice was very squeaky, Antonia could easily understand. The story told of mermaids, Magic songs upon their lips, Their singing enticing sailors, From the rigging and decks of ships. Though, the sailors were not harmed, Only enchanted in a drowsy sleep, Dreaming in the mermaid kingdom, Beneath the ocean cool and deep. The mermaids made a prophecy, Of the sailors promised release, When mankind stopped all wars, And had learned to live in peace. Antonia thought, ‘how very wise’, Watching waves upon the sea, From the beach, she waved goodbye, To the dolphin who came for tea.
