I am a Mermaid of the deep blue seas.
Who glides through the ocean blue,
alongside sea turtles and dolphins, my faithful crew.
Emerging from the sea to saltwater breezes.
Neptune may be the god of water and the vast sea,
I am the symbol of understanding and wit.
A learner of many things when I commit.
Education is the key.
From singing enchanting songs ashore
to saving sailors
who think they can be whalers,
there is much more that I long for.
My brain is a sponge
like the soft corals swaying
on ocean floor with fish darting around them playing.
Ready to take a literary plunge.
Read, read, read!
A gift for your brain,
with all you wish to obtain.
Let new ideas fill your young head.
There is no better way
to discover your passion.
You might enjoy reading about whimsical fashion.
Be whisked away for a day of wordplay.
Open your book
for adventures and fairy tales,
fun mysteries that have you follow gold coin trail.
Even if it is just a picture book.
A gift of advice from me to you,
flap your fins,
dive into a book, your journey is ready to begin
because learning new things is a fun activity to do!

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.

I love it! Keep up the god work!
I thought mermaids did the opposite of saving sailors 😁
I loved how you used the mermaid to convey such a powerful message! Loved your poem!
To learn something new each & every day is the goal of everyone who is wise, be they human or mer.
Well written!
This was such a wonderful poem! Loved it!
Hey Daphsam, do you think we need a section for Children's stories by itself. I mean, kids don't read here, but it all gets lost within the adult crush. our lovely poetry is great.
Oh, I love this! This is so uplifting and encouraging. Beautifully done!
