The Siren

There are told ancient tales of mystery,
of singing maids beneath the sea
with golden tails and flowing hair
how gullible sailors they do ensnare.
Enchanting words their perfect pitch
With their voice, they can bewitch 
entranced naive souls, to enslave 
enticing them to their watery grave.

Having heard the Lorelei on many occasions (I was stationed at Bingen-am-Rhein) it was never a mystery to me how easily men are led astray! Aloha! Rico

Well-penned words, Linda! This brought back memories when I was younger and read stories about mermaids. :) ~Angie
