Mermaids are made of fiction
Stories told to delight our imagination
Like the flying little fairies
Who parade with joy in back gardens
So many in lists of creatures to mention
All magical and wondrous in ways there are
To cast a spell of enchantment
So many children stories, inspired
To have been told of fiction
But in Europe laid an island
Anglo, hair tin distance from the main land
Where the tears of the clouds poured persistent
Poured on so much, on the regular
It turned the inhabitants into mermaids
Such a place like a fish tank, England always wet
This is a stirring and lovely poem, which plays with the words like mermaids with the waves or like children with the rainbow, congratulation!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your closing about how it rained so much it turned everyone on the island to mermaids. This is so well done and very lovely

I really like how you did this, combine the magic of water and it's qualities with the mystical and then you gave us the down pour of reality~ Well Done!
