SEAHORSES

SEAHORSES

Inside the large aquarium,
Within a tank, behind the glass,
Seahorses swim.

So gently now they pass,
Long-nosed, horse-headed and so frail,
With a spiral for a tail.

Like floating chess knights they drift on,
With whirring, tiny fins upon
Their backs and heads- so upright here.

How strange it seems that these should be…
These tiny, horse-like fish, so delicate and clear,
Soft-grazing on the pastures of the sea.
