I am a lifelong fan of David Attenborough's wildlife programmes. The other day I was watching how the little puffer fish in Japan make these incredible spiral pattern shapes in the sand to attract their female in order to mate. Its incredible that a little fish can do this. I was very emotional when I saw it. Nature is made of geometrical patterns and circle is a frequent one because its whole. Mathematics is the language of nature. The ancients knew about geometry in nature and used that to reflect in their buildings. This little puffer fish really is an artist. Their eggs are laid in the middle and the spiral is perfect for incubating them. Thankyou David Attenborough for showing us how beautiful nature can be. Subrata.
The above will explain the inspiration for my poem below. Subrata.x
CIRCLE LOVE RING OF THE PUFFER FISH
Tiny fish of scaly leathery skin,
Small, with large eyes,
Searching for his heart’s desire.
A genius of art
To fulfil his task of wonder and delight.
Nature shapes and patterns he creates
The circle, a symbol of love, whole and the divine.
The puffer fish
Dancing as courting lovers
In a circle love ring
of sacred romance and love.
His fins hover over the seafloor,
Making circular patterns of pebble ridges,
Tenderly decorated with shells and sea flavourings.
Ocean currents caresses these lovers,
Seaweed dance to the sea beat of sea salt bliss.
Their love consummated ,
The passion ring is made whole.
