If you're in need of miracles and wonder,
contemplate this:
somewhere in the world,
in deep greeny-blue mysterious Mother Ocean,
a baby seahorse is being
born
right this minute,
from his father's pouch.
for Susan's prompt at Mid Week Motif: birth days
Oh wonderful Sherry. Birth is a miracle. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have seen this! You are right: Of births, it is the most amazing, mythic, Zeus-like, even.
ReplyDeleteCute! I see the picture and now will easily recall when in need...Thank you, Sherry! How kind of you :)x
ReplyDeleteI like this unexpected take on the prompt and the also unexpected closing line!
ReplyDeleteI've always though that it was weird: seahorses coming from their father. The world really is a mysterious place.
ReplyDeletewhen i was studying, this was always a trivia to us. father gives birth to baby seahorses. :)
ReplyDeleteSherry,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to read about this amazing new life and the unusual role of the father...I hope the mother was relaxing upon a lily pad:) A lovely poem Sherry.

Oh, I love this. You make poetry out of the most tender information. My heart is so warm now.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the first male seahorses complained to the creator and so women were given the task instead. Too late however for the seahorse.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!! Miraculous. ♥
ReplyDeleteOh this made me smile Sherry! Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteI love this, Sherry! I never knew about the birth of a seahorse. Thanks.
ReplyDeletesmiles...that is a beautiful thought...ha...there are plenty of wonders still to be found in this world....
ReplyDeleteSo many baby sea-horses born.. and yes I have seen those amazing films.. lots of them born, so few making it to adulthood...
ReplyDeleteNature is just amazing. Now one can rightly say the man in the house had already chipped in for the sharing of domestic responsibilities! How nice Sherry!

one of the two miracles of creation that i truly appreciate the other of course is the 'mariposa'
ReplyDeleteoh and then there is the eagle, oh and the wolf
but in the midst of all this is the miracle that resides in darkness and to someday walk out and see the light; the human
gracias mi amiga for this lovely reminder
Great poem, the mysteries of nature never cease to amaze.
ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest of miracles indeed, Sherry! There are so many miracles daily....of a small and larger kind.
ReplyDeleteVery succinctly put, Sherry, haha!
ReplyDeleteActually, I was needing a miracle and some wonder!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in it's (deceptive) simplicity...a real wonder
ReplyDeleteI love this Sherry-a miracle indeed~
ReplyDeleteMZ and I agree
:D
A miracle indeed ~ I love this Sherry ~
ReplyDeleteI adore seahorses. They are so tiny delicate yet prehistoric...wonderful gifts from the Creator.
