Twitter Tweet Verse (Limerick & Haiku Prompt)
I sure hope many of you use (or at least are familiar with) Twitter. Because Twitter is today’s limerick and haiku topic. First, my limerick:
Twitter Jitters
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I really don’t mean to sound bitter,
But it’s hard to fit humor on Twitter.
Posting tweets so damn short
Is a challenging sport,
Cuz there’s no time for laughs — just a titter.
And now my Twitter haiku (senryu):
My tweets on Twitter:
Memories, links, mutterings.
Fragments of a life.
As you might have guessed, I use Twitter. If you’d like to, you can follow my Twitter Tweets here.
But now, of course, it’s your turn. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write some verse about Twitter. When you’ve posted your poem(s), please return here and add a direct link to your themed poetry, using Mr. Linky.

love the Limerick, Mad!
Brevity: wit’s soul
But in these few characters
No room for body.
Tweets are speedy to read, but so short
That our writing intentions they thwart.
Thus we either use links
To complete what we thinks

Gotta love this – I was just closing an old blog on AOL and noticed that I was quite twitterish before I knew what it was. Great words, here!
Good stuff – let’s see if I can come up with anything.
Thanks everyone! And Shawn I enjoyed both of your Twitter poems! You could even fit your haiku on Twitter. :)
ah my first one out here :)
