Seahorses

Through the tropical, clear, blue sea,
Elegant, agile, graceful, and free.
Colors of orange, yellow, and blue,
A colorful, bright, and beautiful view.
Prancing like stars throughout the night,
Quick and nimble and lively and light.
A rainbow blur, a bright colored dash.
A mash and a bash and a clash and a crash!
Cold clear water swirling around,
Seahorses diving from the surface to the ground.
Splashing around and filling the ocean
With cheerful and sunny and joyous commotion.
Strips of sunlight penetrate the blue,
Giving the seahorses a golden hue.
And as these creatures swirl and flitter,
They give this world a little more glitter.

Hello Paulina, I like your poem. I like seahorses. They are so cute and tiny. It is the male that lays the eggs. That is all I know about them. Yes they do give their world a glitter. Have a nice day my friend.
