My thoughts,
swimming like a school of porgies—
jumping, darting,
crinkle up the placid surface
of the first low tide of the day.

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

Low tide moments can be real peaceful. Good one Pat!
nice idea pat
wish i had that sort of flexibility :)
a school of what??
Good one Pat!...love the imagery
that's an excellent tanka, pat! :)
what a clever poem! I love it! =)
yep, my brain does that too... great way of describing it!
Very good one Pat!
I enjoyed it very much!
Oh, your comment today was so nice....thanks so very much!
I like the poet in you too!
Your poems are simply...The Best!
Schooling your thoughs!?:) A great idea!:)
great train of thoughts put into words. :o)
even at low tide you bring waves of goodness.
Now I'd like to see the inside of YOUR brain, Pat :-)(and yes, excellent tanka)
I love the title of this piece and how you kept it short
good images as always--low tide means mud--but also the time for oysters and floundering.
Thank you Kai!!
Russell, or real low. Thanks!!
Floots I can't speak for your flexibility, but mine left along time ago. Thanks!!
Porgies. They're a salt water bait fish that school and when being chased really rip through the surface of the water.
Thanks Janice!!
Polona, Thank you. I think I'm missing the pivot.
Thanks Katie!!
Thanks UB!!
Gracie, I guess it's a normal human condition. Thanks!!
Thanks Margie, just speaking the truth.
Borut, my thoughts are too unruly to school.
Thanks Trinitystar!!
Thanks Corey!!
Pris, I'm not sure I do. Thank you!!
Thanks Lyrically Speaking!! I do better with shorter pieces.
Sage, growing up on the coast of Georgia, know exactly what you're talking about. Thanks!!
Now that I know what a porgie is... I like this. I think I've seen porgies in action, or at least something like them, and it's an apt comparison.
MB, I like what you thought it was better.
A corgie/porpoise mix? ... not to mention there's something called a dogfish!
"...school of porgies.."
Ah...
All I can say is "Wow".
I'm glad our thoughts don't have to go to school, mine mostly used to lurk in the playground outside. I think there mabe another poem their if I can borrow the title Pat?
Love this: are porgies a type of fish then?
good job.
The imagery makes me homesick. LOL, I could almost smell low tide. Very nice Pat
