Tide (gogyohka and "prompt" response)

[Brigid Briton]

I posted a response to a poetry prompt on Twitter (#orjay) yesterday. The prompt was to write a poem using the phrase "against the tide". Here's what I wrote:

I push the Downey
up against the Tide,
the Clorox up against the Downey,
laundry room reorganization
completed!

And ironically, eiken just posted a tanka about laundry and the ocean kind of tide! poetry-here-and-now.proboards.com/thread/1763/tanka-suds

Do great minds think alike, or what?

[Cory Raymond]

Oh yes, great minds most definitely think alike. This was very funny! CR

Brigid,
I love when minds meet on forums in particular, there is nothing coincidental in my opinion, it is truly minds meeting which gives me a good feeling inside A beautiful write, you are especially skilled in gogyohka !!
