Arabesque

“Tender Devotion” ????

August 16, 2024

By Kimmy Foulds

Imagine the depth of instinctive capabilities designing a tender devoted weeklong artistic arabesque circular maze-like masterpiece pattern of grainy mountains and groves at the deep seafloor to draw attention in the stunning dedication to display for an unknown mate delicately topped off with broken seashells and the full five-petaled meaningful sand dollars of magical elate.

Splendid grace of diligent gestures with miraculous determination, the Pufferfish males intricately construct ornate decorations whenever they feel like mating in copulating with their tiny fins to magnificently mark the irregular scene of pursuing endearment in the sea to allure the swimming approaching exhilarated female with nature’s intimate marine curiosity engulfed in the rhapsody of courtship by the ocean’s motions.

For the treasured Pufferfish, their unique loveable ritual will never give up, will not desert (yet the manner appears not humanly Shakespearean) and will conquer everywhere on the seabed anywhere, as the female will evaluate elaborate male counterpart’s sand art and will choose to visit with certain males as she will lay her eggs in the fine sentiments of the underwater middle creative crop circle for the male to externally fertilize and protect the eggs for about a guarded week after the female vanishes in the aqua propelling waving way not to be seen, as the male will do the same once the pea sized eggs remarkably hatch to be recognized as the poisonous Pufferfish of wondrous.

As the author adores the vast phenomenal ocean life, there is a Holy scripture she holds dear to remember, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.,” Philippians 4:8 New International Version (NIV) of the Christian Bible; Still, the best-selling book of All time.
