Begin your makeover by adorning yourself with all the accouterments of a siren of the sea, as depicted in this whimsical poem. 

Metamorphosis

What steps can I take of my own creation
To begin my beautiful mermaid transformation
As I look in the mirror it reflects back to me
How I can become a siren of the sea

A few adjustments here and there
Let's start with long, flowing hair
Upon which a crown of shells I'll place
And sparkling glitter applied to my face

Mixed shades of shadow lining my eyes
Upon my gaze one becomes mesmerized
I slip into my tail and turn to see
A mermaid in the mirror staring back at me!
