Mermaids

Myriads of murmuring marine maidens Musically musing, making mariners mad; Floating or frolicking freely and feeding Feverish fishermen’s fleshly fantasies. Sensually swimming silvery seductresses Stripping slobbering sailors of their senses. Inveigling and inspiring them to inundate the waters In instant insanity in pursuit of Neptune’s daughters. To some this may come as a shocker: Mermaids lured them into Davy Jones’ locker.

Not many attempt such amazing alliterative rhyme, and I was slack jawed after my read...and very impressed. Well done!

I love mermaids poems and your clever alliteration adds a fun element. I ran a mermaid contest myself a few years ago here - I would have placed this one high. Mermaid kisses, SuZ
