THE MERMAID

THE MERMAID

The mermaid

Sat on

Her rock.

It was her

Spot.

From there

The shore

She watched

Waiting.

Would her

Friends

Come

To spend

Time

With her

Before she 

Went

Back

Underwater?

It had

Been

A while

Since

They'd met

But they

Had promised

Once she 

Came up

They'd join

Her

For a time

Of fun.

The sunset

Was

Drawing near...

Light breeze

Ruffled

Her hair

The sun

Dipped

As day drifted

To sleep.

The mermaid 

Left the.

Rock.

Alone and 

Lonely

She went

Back

Into the 

Deep!
