Mermaids and Sea Turtles

A Mermaid's water spirit lives inside the sea  
she's a hidden pearl of beauty and a scree 
Captains sell their souls
for all that they extole 
Mermaids are exquisite, a mythic invitee
with voices full of lure and pliable decree 

Sea turtles are reptiles that swim very smart    
they own a three or four chambered heart   
Caretta caretta 
and mermaid Loretta 
swimming through the corals never quite apart  
both are considered a truesome work of art.

The End.
