A Mermaid's Literary Odyssey

A Mermaid Message For Children

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!
