Seahorse Sashay 

flyingfish

 

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 about.
But of course it's a horse 
   with its tell-tale head and mane.
Ignore the odd prehensile tail 
   that some over-zealous strapper coiled.
It's a special horse for an undersea course
   swirling and whirling silently 
   through seaweed strap slalom gates.
With no trot, nor canter, nor gallop, nor panting, 
   but with a leisurely pace in ambling gait,
   like the painted horses on a merry-go-round,
   the seahorse is forever poised,
   in true dressage collection.

    a brilliant dedication
    they are, so wondrous!
    a true validation of the magic
    that is, nature.
    thank you, dear poet
