The Little Mermaid

Thingamabobs she had plenty, yet
Her heart was still
Eager for

Love. She
Ignored her father's command
To contact an evil sea witch
That promised a
Life beyond her
Extensive oceanic home.

Music fled from her throat,
Extremities morphed. A handome
Rich prince discovers the fair
Maid on the shores. She
Attempts to win his heart.
Instead, he's tricked. The spell must be
Broken. Voice and love are found when
Death claims her foe. Happily, it ends.
