Go Fish!

Filled to the Gills

You flirt with me.  I blush.
A rush.
I flirt right back.  A ploy.
I’m koi.
A game of fish?  I nod.
We cod …
here in our aquapod.
I’ve such affinity
for scales.  Divinity
in this, our scrod ballade.

(Notes: One of the Big Tent Poetry prompts was to write something 'as though you were a fish' and One Stop Poetry's prompt for today was to write about a work of art.  Using Jennifer Ardonlino's Deco Fish 4, I combined the two inspirations into one playful deep-sea Ovillejo love poem.)
