Listen to poem:
Mermaid Serenade
M idsummer castaway
E nchanted by a spell
R avished by a sea temptress
M aiden with the raven hair
A balone were her eyes
I dyllic elixir sweet her voice
D ownstream she led the castaway
S eabirds followed the seductress
E astward once the sailor was bewitched
R ocking to the rhythm of the waves
E merging lost at the other end
N eptune’s curse abetting the nymph
A dieu lost star-crossed captive
D reamworld is your final destination
E ntwined in the arms of your seafaring goddess
