The Mermaid's Secret

In coral castles, bright and bold, Where rainbow fishes twist and fold, A reef of wonder, deep and blue, Lived Mermaid, Starfish, Turtle, too!

Mermaid hid a shell so grand, Beneath a mound of pearly sand. Its colours shimmered, sleek and bright, Concealed away from prying sight.

Starfish wiggled, five arms a-sway, "Oh, Mermaid, tell me, what's today? And what's that shiny thing you keep, Hidden so well, in ocean sleep?"

Mermaid giggled, fins a-flip, "A secret treasure, from a ship! Or maybe not, it's hard to say, I found it gleaming yesterday."

Turtle lumbered, wise and slow, "Show Starfish, Mermaid, let him know! No secrets kept in ocean's heart, We share our treasures, every part!"

Mermaid sighed, with playful grin, Dug up the shell, from deep within. She opened it, with gentle grace, A pearl of wonder, filled the space!

Round and glowing, pure and white, It sparkled, bathed in ocean light. A mermaid's secret, now revealed, A pearl of beauty, unsealed!
