Souvenir

I hold three magic rocks, in my hand

Rolling them over and over and over

Leaving this reality behind, far behind



Souvenir

I sail on a sea of crystal dream,
Far from Reality’s shore,
And notice a phosphorescent gleam
Lighting the ocean floor.

The towers of deep Atlantis shine
Underneath water and moon,
And mermaids above form a chorus line
Crooning a siren tune. 
 
Escaping their lure I set my sail
Heading for home instead,
And wake up to find a mermaid scale
Dripping, beside my bed.

This is lovely and very rythmical. I enjoy rhyme so I would probably have placed it even higher. Keep up the good work. Love, Joyce
