A Seahorse Play

In liquid castles, dense and warm
       These princely equine fish do swarm
In peaceful beauty do they reign
           Among the rainbows near to feign

A scarlet mood to chase the sea
                     Of dangers impotent to flee
Perhaps a golden tone would do
                    To spark a regal rendezvous

A dance of love in sweet comport
                     To decorate the azure court
Ensures a stunning dynasty
            To grace this world for me to see

What wonderful talent you show to interweave the royalty beneath the sea theme... "princely fish, regal rendezvous, azure court, ..." Very skillfully written, Mike.
