I think I wrote an ichthyophilia poem once but I think there were more tentacles.
I was thinking of the patronizing phrase and then the woman testing the men as koi, but maybe in thirty words, it didn’t quite come off. 😂or maybe I just needed to add tentacles.
I thought it was just a simple sexy poem but I’m not always the most perceptive. I encourage to throw off the thirty word shackle of the prompt and give yourself the space to explore the metaphor/pun.
Oh, this is beautiful, friend. You’re introspection awes me. I like the playful “whim” of the fish and then the observation that the water is also playful. You’ve nailed it. 👏👏⭐️
Love this challenge and the poems posted!! Well done and the picture is beautiful! My attempt is posted on my blog: yourplateormine967244485.Wordpress.com titled: Coy Bubbles 🫧😊
I will try posting here: Coy Bubbles 🫧
I watch from below; you above.
Looking for a sea of rainbows for you to follow and me to catch you fall.
I hear you in the ocean’s bubbles 🫧 a lover’s call.

There’s something about the sea
I see
It’s a part of me
Hibernating within
I glimpse the fishes whim
While cascading water makes me feel trim
Love your poem, K. A delightful dance of poetry tonight. Thank you. 💜

I love the gorgeous metaphor you’ve drawn from this enticing pic; in a way this strange poem reminds me of my little poem 🙂

Your charged ideas fueled it, and well, I think some dreams are better left with open doors, or open windows, at least.
