Sea Horse Sense \u2013 Owed to Gender Fluidity in Nature<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Male seahorses are the ones that get pregnant and give birth. They carry fertilized eggs in a special brood pouch until the young are ready to be released into the water.<\/em><\/p>\n

Male sea horses
\nAre given a present
\nAnd the future
\nTo bask it
\nAs female sea horses
\nBestow their eggs
\nTo the masculine pouch
\nBeyond pursing lips
\nAnd fertile eyes
\nConceiving anew
\nGenerations
\nTo follow
\nIn gendering love
\nAnd don\u2019t even ax me
\nIn hi regards
\nTo gay penguin dads
\nFabulously suited
\nTo adopt a nestling
\nIn chic fashion<\/p>\n
