The Sound of frothed waves
Crashing to the shore
Tossing and turning
In the night forever more

A lone battered rock
Sits in the center
Of the tossing and turning
Not knowing any better

Whispered songs are heard
As sailors sail pass
A thick fog rolls in
Covering the salted masts

A slim figure appears
Of a young, pale girl
She sits on the rock
Letting her song whirl

The sailors all pause
Enchanted by the tune
Some seduced sailors jump
Into the watery doom

As her song enthralls
She flips her scaled tail
The song is carried by wind
As the wind rips at sails.

Her half smile enchants
All sailors listen spellbound
Her siren voice rises
Sailors leap out at the sound

It was good but a bit too literal at some points.

That was a beautiful poem. You really captured the moment where the siren singing her beautiful song of watery doom and where the sailors jump into the water to be closer to the song.
