Mermaid Fantasy

Out on the ocean
A lonely fisherman cries
He's unable to find true love
No matter how hard he tries.

So many failures 
In his life there have been
To Neptune he's praying
''Please find me a queen''

Suddenly from the blue sea
A voice can be heard
''I'll find your true love''
If you give me your word.

You must tell her often
Just how much she means
To a heart full of romance
and forever dreams.

I give you my promise
He heard the fisherman say
Neptune carried the boat onward
To meet true love half way.

This is the spot
Now you must not forget
To catch your true love
You must cast your net.

After heaving and toiling
The fisherman watched the net rise
Until the sight of his true love
Greeted his eyes.

A beautiful mermaid
Reached out for his hand
Her tail disappearing
As they touched dry land.

His lips met hers
Their hearts were aflutter 
So wrapped up in love 
No words did they utter

They lived happily ever after
In a villa by the sea
And until the end of forever
Will share this romantic fantasy.

Costa Concordia in 2006 huh. We have been Holland American and went on Brilliance of the Sea from Spain to Turkey and back. What a great trip. Love all of your poems ach in a different way. If you get a chance, read some of my most recent poems which it appears that you have done away. So anchors away. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

Awww Casarah that is such a lovely comment it means the world to us. Win or lose we write for fun but it's comments like yours that make it all worthwhile. I can't read your 'Gone with the Wind' entry as we are judging blind but I know it will be awesome. I got my first ever no 1 spot with Darren for Sleeping Beauty I haven't stopped smiling since Hugs as ever Jan xxxx
