The Ocean’s Power Comments

TO: Mel F. R. FROM: Taylor Lakke, author I am writing my first fiction book called A Heart for the Ocean. In the book there is a memorial service honoring a Mermaid. I would like to use your poem The Ocean's Power as a reading at that ceremony. May I have your written permission to use this poem in this book? I will refer to everyone that you are the author of this poem in the text of this book. In the credits of the book I will mention you, your poem and your website. I will also mail you a copy of my paperback book once it is published. Currently, my book is in the process of being edited.
