The Mermaid and Me

I was alone, watching the sunset seated on a line of rocks, not wet Holding two small pieces of rock and a pentel pen with me I wrote a mark on the said rocks I found underneath me And threw away the two pieces of rock in the nebulous, salty waters. After a while, one small rock was thrown back wrapped in algae with some lathers. I stood up and picked it up and walked on the same line of dry rocks where I sat earlier. Another piece of rock thrown back -- the same piece of small rock I marked "4ever" I looked around... up, left and right and saw no one. A strong wind blew at my feet and circled around my body of heat When I looked down on the waters, touching my head with my cold hand I saw a smiling mermaid... waving at me with a heart-shaped hand.

She sounds lovely, especially with heart shaped hands. What a great story and a splendid imaginative poem. It was fun to see as I read. Your last 6 lines were my favorite. Maybe you should go for a swim soon:)
