Writing from Words

4 Comments 18 May 2011

Thanks to all who made Wordles! As I looked at the various word pictures, I was fascinated by unexpected combinations of words that were sitting near each other. They seemed to be begging for the chance to become poems. Like these words from Sandra’s Wordle:

Now find love
gentle sweet,
like blue expectations
attached to grace.

Or these words from Joanne’s Romantics Wordle…

Entirely wild
men poems, like
mountain things.

Or these from one of our T. S. Poetry Wordles…

Shovel burning,
holding Lord Neruda’s
house, milk, songs,
a pomegranate.

Want to try it? Poke through the participants’ links below and see if you can find some poems-in-waiting in their Wordles. Post your poem links to the T. S. Wall, by next Wednesday the 25th, for links and possible feature here at Tweetspeak.

Yes, I had great fun doing these. So simple to do. Very random (which is great for Random Acts of Poetry

I absolutely love what you’ve done there – poems into wordles and back into poems again. Wonderful!

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
