A Mermaid

A Mermaid or In Response to Poem of the Day There was a maiden that they called a miracle Containing emphatic data defined by empirical But to measure her beauty was hard to use So we had to come up with a perfect excuse. Even though lingering lights did become dim Along with all other poets happened to them Wits were without and many may have known Pictures and personalities were caste in stone. This was when we soon started and realized They were all beyond belief and unrecognized Found out only one receiving a passing grade Was Margie the miracle who became a mermaid.

? My brain process is very slow, one of my problems, so I am confused. Your quote; In response to Poem of the Day Today’s poem talks about “Fog” on the open seas And yours is about a mermaid

The lights became dim although many of us poets might be in a fog. Some of my poem was inspired by Poem of the Day while parts may have been inadvertent add on's to cover up the rest of my lunacy. Now you really got me thinking. On to next poem to write. Jim Horn
