Seahorses Poems - Poems about Seahorses

Seahorses in my sauerkraut And no apologies or explanation. I watched them cavort for a bit Then I turned to the raccoons sliding down my plate and I asked them what was happening. As if we would know? One mouthed back. Better ask the Ketchup. The Ketchup speaks English? Strangest breakfast yet....

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 changes color to pretend to blend in with their surroundings for...

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 as air while empty males swell up with their new brood. You...

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 female Spirals up out of seagrass, leaving her mate impregnated. May...

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...

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 is on point You may find us on a shrimp boat We...

Seahorses. Who needs them? Who wants them? For what? Really? Seahorses look like the small letter q, inverted. No other animals can do that backward tail curve, Except the husky dogs. These strange little sea urchins should have Been named Bug-eyers. Or Question floaters Or Inverted Sea Q’s. They do not look like horses to me, No expert really, since I have only fallen Off of two of...

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 industry, Or lions and their bravery--and foxes with their knavery? But what...

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, create a wonder for her earthly seas... a creature...

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 display They are the jewels of Amphitrite The diluted rainbow tracks their...

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 merry merciful Momentous messengers of love Marketable motive and Mission to...
