Keep Your Tail


Mermaid princess

Fin swishing

The girl finesses

"Fine, yes," she says

A moment of weakness

Doubt, creeping through

But then she remembers:

She'll be a powerful leader!

Why is her mind tripping over a boy?

A human, no less

Who needs legs when I have iridescence and exuberance.

Good bye Human.
