Temptress of the tides below
with hair of golden swirls,
lips of silvered coral,
and skin of glistening pearls.
Sing to me your sirens song
and tell of me your tale,
enchanting Lady Neptune,
your mystery to unveil.
Swim upon the azure wave
and bask on golden shore,
til time again to fall away,
your Atlantis to explore.

A lovely meter here and a beautifully simple tale woven from the picture, thanks very much for the entry, I enjoyed this a lot.

The sort of song you need for a true mermaid. I think she would be ready to kiss you and make it possible for you to stay below with her for eternity.. Just the sort of love story that the picture is telling. Beautiful, flawless rhyme.

Love it...
Enchanting in its imagery, flawless in its rhythm & compelling in its narrative with a sweet tight rhyme scheme to boot...
Keep up the good work...
Well done!!!
