More on the Mermaids

 I’m getting on with the sequel quite rapidly, 35,000 words as of today. I’ve been writing more Merfolk love songs;  this for example, which is supposed to be the work of their new bard:

My soul is thine as thine is mine 
Thy love is mine as mine is thine
Our hearts as one inside each breast
Our lips to touch, our heads to rest
Together, in the night we lie
I and my love, my soul and I

Maybe someday I might publish a slim, very slim, volume of mer-poetry. I’ve got quite a selection already.
