A very Pied Piper sort of poem. I wonder if the lighthouse refers to a specific place or a is a reference to a song lyric or something, or if it’s just an image that you decided to use.

You're very astute! The musical reference is on the last line and it's to the Beatle's Octopus's Garden song
That’s a song I hadn’t heard in a while. I didn’t remember the lyric about the coral, so I had to revisit. It’s interesting where inspiration can come from, isn’t it.
It is such a fun song that sounds like a jingle and perfect for their generation. Music has often inspired me to write stories because the images just appear in my mind with the sound and rhythm.
