It's a Mermaid's Moon; <br />See the ripples like water, <br />Try to hear the splashing <br />And faint tinkling laughter. <br /> <br />The clouds are hiding <br />The mermaid's fun; <br />They don't come play <br />Under burning sun. <br /> <br />I see their shadows <br />In the sunset's glow- <br />It makes me glad <br />I can see the show. <br /> <br />Hide and seek <br />Is among their games <br />But mermaids rarely <br />Play the same again. <br /> <br />Their favorite game <br />In the ocean blue, <br />Is to catch a man <br />And to steal his shoes. <br /> <br />They'll play with shoes <br />All day, so beware them <br />Maybe its because <br />They've no feet to wear them?<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mermaid-s-moon/
