Their lime green eyes
always lured the Gods.
The water nymphs
had porcelain white skin
their platinum blonde hair
complemented their aqua colored eyes.
Singing sweet songs,
that made the sirens envious.
Free spirited nymphs;
the Gods desired them
the Goddesses envied them.
Mortals strived to be with them,
the beautiful and free
divine spirits.
