 A Mermaids Gain

My mother a mermaid bless her fins,

Gave birth to me on a moonlit night at a traveller's inn,

There were scurrying feet,

And water boiled and drinks served neat,

She thrashed about for all the pain,

But smiled in the end for i was her gain.

    Gillena, I love the playful rhythm and the mermaid metaphor. It’s both charming and vivid.

    Much love,
