I think your poem is truly unique! The metaphor of dragons for sea horses is a good one. I would never have thought of that. I hope this does well in the contest!

I've always been fascinated by seahorses. I was surprised that they are a staple, offered as dried bar snacks in South Korea. These creatures are docile and family oriented, protectors to their young. Need to find out more about them.

Hello mermaids and many smiles for your beautiful way of telling us about the seahorse
( as been a gentle and caring tiny dragon)
I love how you ended your contest poem.

Good

I thought the poem was well constructed, both colorful and descriptive. I had never considered how much seahorses are like dragons, both noble and mysterious. Best of luck to you in the contest!

Googling the seahorse, I discovered that not only were they "shameless" flirts, but we're also bi-sexual, 37% were same sex encounters! Heh Hen! Well done a nice entry in this "dragons" poetry contest. You've done well, a good chance at dragons, good luck, blessings, Roy

The picture seems to look like sea horses, which are closely related to sea dragons.
I enjoyed reading the poem. Also, I don't know if they are capable swimmers, according to Wikipedia they are quickly caught by their predators if they accidentally
fall out of their camouflage. Again, the poem was entertaining.

Yes, the sea dragon is a relative of the sea horse. I have a few poems in my portfolio about sea dragons. Thanks for reading and enjoying. Elaine

This speaks about the dragons of the sea; he is a dragon of benevolence, a good teacher, he can teach anyone, gives birth to many young seahorses and teaches them the art of survival; I liked.

Great read, I never thought of sea horses as dragons of the sea. You took something simple and built it into something special. Your poem is smooth and has an interesting theme. Good luck in the contest.
