Laveaha
Laveaha was a beautiful mermaid,
who lived underneath the real deep sea.
She was a princess who longed to be free,
finding her one true love was what she prayed.
Zueselist, king controlled her every move,
he wanted the best for his little girl.
She aimed to live life and give it a whirl.
Laveaha felt that she had much to prove.
At night she would swim to the ocean's shore,
once she reached land, she was able to walk,
Laveaha ran and used her voice to talk.
being above the ocean wasn't a bore.
One night her eyes laid on a handsome man,
she didn't want to return her ocean home.
She found true love and heart wouldn't roam,
He was her soulmate, perfect gentleman.
Laveaha left her crown and her power,
they married and became husband and wife.
She never looked back, just embraced her life,
although long ago, she visits the hour.
The rhyme scheme "abba" (that is, where the first and fourth lines, and the second and third lines rhyme).
