She’ll take you too far
Don’t entertain the mermaid
Breathing down your neck
Lest you find yourself
In the belly of the whale
That you’ve befriended
He’ll smile “Welcome home”
That mermaid will be there too
With tea and kelp cakes
Next comes surgery
To retro-fit you with gills
Now you’re one of them
You’ll live in the depths
Meet with the surf and shores, then
Teach sonar to schools
But you could also
Not entertain the mermaid
Breathing down your neck

I’m so in love with your poetry! Just wanted to say I’ve nominated you for the One & Only Award. You are lovely! http://shreyarvj.wordpress.com/2014/08/30/one-lovely-blog-award/
I’m not sure what to say, believe it or not, except I’m touched that you feel this way about anything I write. Thank you, thank you, thank you….
You really deserved it. I’m in awe of what you write.
