Best Seahorses Poems

Seawater swimming
Endangered
And fast moving
Horse-like fish of the sea
Orange, blue and red too
Ride in herds
Spectacular
Elevated neck, of course
Seahorses

They are the chariots of mermaids, the undersea calliopes
They grace the waves with their ballet
They are the turquoise flash within the spray
They are the steeds of Poseidon, the dreams of faeries
They are the fantasy Camelot carries
They are the coral's escaping sway
They are the treasure chest's...

Seahorses on see-saws prance, sashay and dance
   gliding majestically under the sea.
No clip nor clop for this aquatic steed 
   for no legs adorn its knight-in-armour body.
Instead its fins keep these hippocampus poised
   as they gambol gently and frolic...

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute 
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces
Peacefully going about
Your business
Magical make-believe
Monarchs of the sea
Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march

Moonstruck prone to 
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing 
In monotonous monotony
Mediocrely misconstruing
Mischievous mongrels
And misconceiving misplayed    
Merciless minutiae
But...

We humans like all creatures to have a purpose, an aim,
From one-celled amoebas to fungi-spore glebas,
They need a good reason to compete in life's game.
Consider cats: They school us in hygiene
Licking their paws and their fur shiny clean.
And how 'bout tiny ants, who teach us...

Seahorses...Why?


Dear Mother Nature woke one day,
   and looked around with a sly smile,
surveyed her Earth, both land, and sea,
   then paused to think for quite a while.

She beamed with joy with her new plan,
   to think outside the box,...

SEAHORSES

We ride ocean currents
We are small marine fish
With segmented bony armor 
Such an upright posture, swish
A curled prehensile tail, a tubular snout 
A head and neck suggestive of a horse

Mythical creature with horse's head and fish's tail
We are masters of disguise of sort
We camouflage game...

Swimming side by side in unison among red coral,
Entwining occasionally in their colourful pre-dawn dance,
A pair of small creatures resembling 
Horses of the sea 
Or perhaps Pegasuses - with pectoral fins
Rapidly fluttering like hummingbird wings -
Swirl and sometimes touch snouts, as if kissing.
Ending their ritual,...

The story of seahorses is as enchanting as can be, 
they’re a sweet little family living under the sea.
They wear skeletons on the outside for all to see.
One thousand eggs the dear daddy underlies
and gives birth to the babies called tiny “fries”.

A magical creature that...

How bizarre
They are
In their underwater
Paradise

Gardens of coral and sea-plants,
Ever green,

Pregnant with billions 
Of babies
Waiting

To meet their purple dad....

Seahorses

The courtship of seahorses is a dance 
as twisting tails are anchored by a strand.
A predawn prelude leading to romance,
sex role reversal we don’t understand. 

How wise of them to choose to be in pairs,
protecting offspring like good parents should.
These tiny, fragile fry float smooth...

Intertwining tails 
Daily pre-dawn dances
This is how the seahorses
Practice their romances.

The males have a pouch-
Now isn't that sublime?!
Gives birth to many babies
Two thousand at a time !!...

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...
