Avalin

Sitting there still As still as a statue Beautiful and perfect But dangerous and deadly are they Harmful games that they play And haunting tunes they sing Lost fisherman to them they bring Singing a softly seductive song After that only her you'll long "Come to me, my handsome man" She speaks so sweet, and has many a fan You have no choice but to obey For you now are her prey Lost are you now on Siren's land You obey her every wish and command Flowers laced throughout her hair Forever do they stay there Lovely, beautiful, and full of grace Clothes made from the finest lace Earth,air, sky, and sea No one as beautiful and deadly as thee The come in swarms of many But one is just as bad as any "Keep me company and share my splendor" You have never found someone so gentle or so tender But it's a trick and convincing lie But man knows only what he sees with an eye So now your lost on Siren's land You obey her every wish and command Written By Brittany Larson For Constance's contest "Tell Her Story"

Wow, this is one of the best entries I've read, Brittany. How interesting to think of the girl in the picture as a Siren who lures fishermen. I love all tales associated with the sea and this is great work. Congratulations on your placement in Constance's contest! Love, Carolyn

The sirens are interesting creatures in legends and yes, your Avalin certainly looks like she could be a siren! Congratulations on your win.
