T is for Twitter
And here’s all about it. Fancy a go at a Twitter poem?
Rena’s:
Bushy tailed thief /in the tree/dodge the growling dogs/back and forth/ from thick to thin/to rooftop scaling/ down to the feeder hut #poem
Mine:
Laying beneath willow/breezy Spring day/Egyptian goddess #poem #poetry #12x
Penny’s:
Acrostic-SURF Swell / Under and up / Ride / Fabulous A to Z Poetry Challenge T for Twitter #poem #poetry @renajtraxel http://alturl.com/vytou
Irene Kistler’s:
Cloudburst/Plip plip // Umbrella/Drip drip // Rain boots/Squish squish // Mud puddle/Splish splish // Wet fun/Tee Hee // Mom’s home? / Gulp
Kirsten Larson’s:
Knobby knees escape shorts/ sandals slap, tender toes exposed/ bare boy bellies, best part of summer. #poem #poetrysten Larson’s:
I’ll add the rest as I see them. I hope you are not too weary of poetry this month. I’d like to keep on the poetry theme and have a new idea for a game on the blog coming soon
p.s. In case you were wondering I am not lying beneath a tree at all today, it’s blowing a gale out there!

What a brilliant idea! This whole poetry month has got me thinking I need to stretch myself and try my hand at some poetry. Maybe a Twitter poem is in my future.
Weary of poetry? Bah! Never! It’s refreshing and soul-feeding. Keep it coming!
Good to hear Vicki, thanks!
Ok, here’s one for you: Knobby knees escape shorts; sandals slap, tender toes exposed; bare boy bellies, best part of summer. #poem #poetry
Kirsten you’re a Twitter poet pro. That’s awesome!
Unfortunately, I read about the slash marks on Rena’s blog AFTER I tweeted it. Oh well.
Sorry, I should have said, but it must still look like a poem I’ll look out for it.
Great, Catherine and thanks for the shout out! I need to get mine up!
These are all so great – you are all so creative and talented!
As you are Susanna
These are great! Short and sweet, just like a tweet! I haven’t written mine yet, but probably will tonight! I was dealing with the sonnet today!
I agree–I have had so much fun with Poetry Month–I would like to keep something going at least once a week!
Can’t wait to read your Sonnet Natalie! Yes, once a week would be great, we could take turns to pick a picture to write a poem about or something.

Thanks for posting them all together! It was fun to study them side-by-side. I’m impressed that everyone created strong imagery with few words.
Thanks for posting mine. I replied to Kirsten and said mine would read ghost legs escape shorts/blinding anyone who walks by. lol. Hanging out under a willow tree sounds divine!
LOL Rena, and yes it does sound divine, no willow trees in our garden I’m afraid. I’ll have to take a chair to the park lol.
Irene – They are great on imagery which is super when you only have a few words to make an impact.
Thanks so much Erik
