The Singing Lagoon Poem by nimal dunuhinga

The Singing Lagoon

Rating: 5.0


An Otter and a Guppy they lived in an isolated lagoon.
They are very good friends.
In a moonlit night they hear a beautiful song.
A Nymph sings while combing her tress in the mangrove.
Once in a blue moon a slim and handsome boatman comes there and joins her singing.
Otter whispered to Guppy; 'My friend are they lovers? '
'I don't think so, if they are lovers then why the boatman comes very seldom? 'Guppy replied.
'Yes, how a boatman can loves a Nymph? 'Otter explained.
They saw the boatman goes into the mangrove.
And they heard the Nymph cries. 'How long I have to wait? And you promised that you take me to your shack soon.'
'Definitely I loose my job in due course as they are making a bridge.
I have already planned to go to the sea as fishing is more profitable.
Please do not worry my sweetheart and I fish you one day when my pocket is full.'

A lovely fairytale. I hope that the boatman and the mermaid live happily ever after. Very charming and light hearted. Warm regards, Sandra

A strange little tale Nimal written in your very own idiosyncratic style with wry, gentle humour. Love the last line 'I fish you when my pocket is full'. Very sweet poem. love, Allie xxxxxxxxx
