Green Eyed Mermaid

She has the greenest eyes I have ever seen. She came out of the water with skin a lovely sheen. She is the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen. I did not know how to believe my young cousin Keen. Wait until you see her, he assured me. You will see…. She is the queen of the ocean, entirely lovely. I watched the waters, hoping his tale would be…. True, for I love the idea of a mermaid living in the sea. I gave it a week, but then I ran out of time. I wanted to see her rise from the ocean’s slime. If wishes could have made it so, I certainly would have seen. The green-eyed mermaid told to me by my cousin Keen.
