I love the whimsy of this poem, and the myth that you have created. As usual your gift of rhythm and rhyme capture the story. The images are vibrant and pulse with emotion. Thanks! Caroline

This is a fine narrative poem. One, the story of a green mermaid and her tale of woe captivated me. Your rhymes moved your story along, serving a supporting role to the narrative told by a green mermaid who bemoans:

Indeed I have not always been
Glazed a lurid reptilian green.

Instead of being cursed by a witch, Nature curses her. You show a fine knowledge of mermaid myths and folklore to weave a new tale, or should I say tail? : )

In the end she confesses her misdeed:

My sheen is caused by my misdeed.
What sin paints me this mossy hue?
It's Envy. Yes, I envy You!

Wow! This is a great Story in a Poem. I wish you contest success.
