Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Little Mermaid

Rebecca wrinkles her itty bitty nose and giggles
Loads of soapy bubbles almost over her head
Warm soothing water still running noisily
Holding on to her precious Little Mermaid doll
Rebecca reaches over to quiet the flow
Ah the echo of silence! How magically delightful !

Now her singing lesson can begin
As she plays with her mermaid friend
Reenacting a world of aquatic fantasy
Belting out every Little Mermaid song
One day Rebecca will be a superstar
But today she’s just another mermaid having fun

P.S. Awtry May 3, 2019 at 9:01 AM Oh, Little Mermaid is one of my very favorite movies. I had the sound track when my daughter was small. Now her daughter is my little mermaid. Enjoyed this so much and especially "now her singing lesson can begin" ;) Congratulations! Line Gauthier May 3, 2019 at 9:56 AM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, PS.

Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2019 at 9:47 PM Rebecca sounds delightful; I can almost hear her singing those Little Mermaid songs, but unfortunately Frozen's "Let it Go!" Keeps jumping into my mind frame. Line Gauthier March 30, 2019 at 10:53 PM As long as Rebecca is happy, she can sing whatever she likes.
