Best Seahorse Poems

On a sultry, sizzling July day
I swear it happened just this way
In a tidal pool, a lifeless seahorse lay

He’d not galloped to meet his fate
But was caught in a wave’s cruel wake
High tide retreated, closed the gate

Oh, to have seen him in his prime
Not corralled...

the seahorse dances
gracefully among the chimes

There was once a seahorse named Henry
Oceanrider was he for he roamed slovenry
He met Mustany Sally
To change he did not dally
For she was dish told of in heathenry...

Like a father
I am security
I don't bother
I just survive
I must suffer
For this world
I must carry on
For my girl
To survive...

I take the blows
Life won't give in
Why should I?
Will I ever win?
Who the hell knows?
I won't give up
Just one more blow
That's the stuff

All the struggles
All the hate
It's...

Mother started her journey home today
where Dad stands, waiting with open arms
in the sunsets meeting of the oceans glare. 

I stood by the shore, the water so clear
waiting for the message the dolphins bring near.
Has she made it; did they greet? Little
dolphin, is her journey...

My pet seahorse Brenda was blond,
She loved a poor fish in the pond;
He was not aware of this,
And so he took her amiss,
When in his big tummy she spawned.

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

The Seahorse
He floated among the seaweed, tail curved, belly fat
Watching as a small plankton came closer and closer
It swam strangely moving this way and that
Till it ran into the seahorse and caused him to smolder
“Watch where you’re going, you hit my baby”
“What are you talking...

How do you play patty cake with a seahorse this tall?
I had seen it before but could not explain the process at all.
Let’s hide behind this coral reef, and maybe it will happen I said.
The first few things that floated by were gross, sticky, and...

Seahorse of Gems

I see a Seahorse riding a wave
A body of gems
Sapphires Rubies Emeralds & Pearls 
She rides on her tail 
Such a beautiful swirl
She rides with such grace
A Royalty expression on her face
She owns the waves
A master of the current
She rides with the wind...

They started when the need to keep the school together,
as the golden sided fish travelled in their world of water.

Is isn't difficult to imagine riding one of them,
herding the school to keep it from becoming chum.

Just as the West had its run with the herds...

Immortalized there in the Trevi,
Poseidon and his wondrous steed;
these legendary beasts of the waters
gallop the ocean forever free.

Ancestry of the charmer sea horse
forever pulling a gods’ chariot;
noble they grace heraldic armor,
gallant specters swimming free. 

With flailing flukes they do serve,
part fish, part horse mounts of...

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...

Snazzy seahorse shimmering and showy
Sashaying in succulent southern seas
Seen by several serious sea-gazers
Solidly shifting and shrinking - simply scintillating!
A silhouette of shimmering scales
Snazzy seahorse shimmering and showy...

magnificent monarch
of the sea meanders
-- a momentous march
mythical and mesmerizing
