Jan Allison Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Find Me At Six - Peril Out At Sea

Find me when you sail upon aqua seas, 
pretty Loreli the water spirit.
My haunting melody will entice you; 
I will lure you to come closer, closer.
Many sailors have perished on the rocks -
If you hear my voice, don’t try to find me!

Find me at six Contest

*Lorelei is a feminine water spirit, similar to a siren or mermaid, which is rumored to send sailors to their death, by luring them near cliffs with her beautiful singing voice.

Chris Green January 18, 2017 at 11:19 AM If she lured them to the edge of TALL cliffs then she must have a HGH pitched voice.
