Sailors Beware

Mermadic waves, her feminine tailspin kaleidoscopic.
Drastic and hypnotic, nautical miles in search of new blood.
Sea’s miffed with white caps drawing Neptune, smarting for epic brawl.

Wow! The sailors need to sail with caution. If I am one and is caught by her, I definitely have the needed charm to take her to the moon as I slip away unsucked! LOL!. Great write my friend.
