This was previously posted in Prose but I was corrected that this isn't prose and was instructed to post it here. So here goes. Rain pouring down Onto the creaking wooden boards Of the colossal Maria Liona Jack strolls down the deck Searching through the blue-green sea For what he did not know What answers could he find In the vast mass of water What questions were he asking? But no sooner did he ask this Than did a subtle splash appear On the starboard side Jack hurried over to find The greatest shock of his life There rising out of the sea Was the most beautiful of beautiful ladies Dressed in a flowing green gown Green as the deep deep sea Her arms outstretched as if she was calling "Jack come to sea with me." Jack stood in awe at this beautiful lady He gripped the boat's edge He wanted to jump in To greet the most beautiful of women She opened her mouth and out came a song One that Jack had never heard He listened intently to her words Calling, calling him in "Oh, Jack come with me In the lovely sea So I'll be lonely no more" Jack could't hold it in And he did jump in No one will see him again "Come away with me, Wendy. Come away to Neverland." |

As I explained before... and I still believe it after reading it again... This is a very well written work. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to reading more. Cause in my dreams it's always there |
