Marcus Goodyear has written an article for Christianity Today’s Books & Culture on TweetSpeak Poetry – how it started, what it evolved into, and where it may be headed.
Key events in the creation: Bradley Moore (aka Shrinking Camel) didn’t understand hashtags, and L.L. Barkat and Glynn Young had begun to rediscover poetry via Twitter. Eric Swalberg joined in, and the first Twitter poetry jam was born on Sept. 9. 2009.

Well, I say Brad got fame on the sly. Seeing as he went to a Youth Group thing that night.
Well, you know those camels – spit at you, get ornery, stick their noses under the tent – and get all the recognition.
So well explained. And there are rules!
