Below and deep down,
The sky is still blue,
And there are still weeds to be pulled.
Below and deep down,
I huddle in a boat with no sail,
And watch the birds with gills fly through the sky.
Below and deep down,
It's very lonely.
I was wrong about the mermaids – there
are none.
Below and deep down,
The sky presses down,
And it rains day and night.

i agree with Mckay. the last line is what held me.
The pic is what captured me the most. I've never seen it before. So...bold. I swear that's what I look like in the morning...but not that attractive. -_- I love the poem. And the disappointment you convey, especially when you realize there are no mermaids in the sea, which is disappointing. I like the two last lines: "The sky presses down,/And it rains day and night." Well done.
