A Seahorse Glimpsed

I came across a coral reef
a seahorse glimpsed
sudden taste for beef

a pregnant pause
'pon gulping down
that dainty horse
  ~ all fifteen pounds

As long as you don't tackle a 15-pound seahorse, let your imagination run free, Darlene! Cheers, Gershon

Well, I loved the first 14 pounds, Judy. That last pound did me in, however. Stomach pumped, I'm recovering rapidly now. lol. Cheers, Gershon
