You heard right. It’s that time again.

Tweetspeak will host a Twitter Poetry Party on Tuesday, October 9, from 9:30-10:30 p.m. EST.

Wonder how these things work? @tspoetry will provide a prompt — could be a thought, a line of poetry, a short quote or even a headline. You write a line of poetry on Twitter in response, working within the 140-character limit and including the hashtag #tsptry. You can also play off other participants’ lines and experience the delight that comes from writing poetry in community and conversation.

If you don’t already follow @tspoetry, now is a good time to do so. And it’s best to come to our @tspoetry Tweetchat room and sign in for the party so that you can see all the tweets in the #tsptry stream.

In the days and weeks following the party, our own Glynn Young will assemble the tweets into Twitter poems and we will all swoon over what we created together.

Come write with us. It’s a solid hour of fast fun.
