Mermaids

Hidden from view her dulcet voice rings out carrying her dreams across the ocean with no doubt She knows one day she will find him as she sings of love as she swims the ocean she is met by a white dove A letter it holds in its beak from a mortal man her voice has enthralled him, although it carries a ban Curious she swims to the beach where he is sat only once there she finds him a bit too fat Sighing she continues her lonely search a voice rings out calling her to a rocky arch There she espies the merman from her dream together at long last, they swim now as a team At long last she is no longer alone, to him she is now bound together their songs sing out filling the ocean with magical sound written 05/30/2014 contest Mermaids

I like your take on the theme, Shadow. I think it's a first in mermaid themes that the heroine ends up with another from her kind. I LOL'd at Richard's comment so hard and made me think the mermaid found a tourist eating mcdonald's cheeseburger.

The poor guy on the beach, perhaps if she had kissed him he would have transformed into the man of her dreams. She was rather shallow for one who comes from the deep *lol*

Dear Shadow, I'm so glad she found her "merman." How could she find true happiness with a mortal man? I love the fantasy within your poem and wish you well in the contest! Love, Carolyn
