Tropical Seahorses

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute 
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces
Peacefully going about
Your business
Magical make-believe
Monarchs of the sea
Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march

Moonstruck prone to 
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing 
In monotonous monotony
Mediocrely misconstruing
Mischievous mongrels
And misconceiving misplayed    
Merciless minutiae
But merry merciful 
Momentous messengers of love

Marketable motive and 
Mission to mirthfully mate
You mavericks matched
To mettlesome mistresses
Masqueraded maroon 
From menacing mercenaries
Marvelously masterful 
Is your mimed courtship dance
Mellifluous entwining 
Matrimonial love embraces
Mounting and moving 
Mimicking moody miscreance
Swaying to measureless 
Maudlin melancholic melodies
Monopolizing methodical 
Momentum and motion
A meticulously modulated 
Mellow match of merging
A most memorable metaphysical
Millennium melodrama
