The Mermaid Fairy
On a summer day
I went to the beach
to swim and have fun
and live carefree.
I sat on the sand
with towel and snack
with a book to read,
and my mind to dream.
Then I saw a mermaid,
except she had wings,
she flew up to me,
then she smiled and winked.
The mermaid with wings
said humans at the beach
must be clean & neat,
leave the beach pristine.
For the sake of fish,
and fish folk undersea,
and fairy mermaids like me,
who have the magic abilities.
We come with a plea
to protect the sea
so your grandkids
can go to the beach.
The fairy mermaid
blew a kiss & I smiled
& winked. I agreed
to keep the beach clean.
The fairy gave me a gift,
a wonderful little thing
that sparkled & had a swirl
& smelled like a beach.
It was a little rock
of aqua colors & greens
& a touch of magic
to give me powers to see.
The little rock let me see
the fairy mermaid & the sea.
It also showed me the beach
and it showed me trash, indeed.
The little rock let me talk to her
and ask her about her powers
and at night I could sleep well
listening to the waves.
After years of friendship
& time spent cleaning the beach
the rock opened a blue portal
from my bedroom to her realm.

Adventure on the other side of this portal. I will ask my oldest daughters if they have any ideas on how to continue this sweet story.
