Twitter Poetry: Top Ten Poetic Tweets

By T.S. Poetry 3 Comments

We spend a lot of time on Twitter. (We’re Tweetspeak Poetry, right?) In fact, we figure we read thousands of tweets every month. One of the things poetry and Twitter have in common (when done well) is an economy of words. Sometimes, it so happens we read a tweet and say to ourselves, “That’s poetry.” Maybe it’s not a poem, but it’s a poetic thing. A way of using words well.

We want to take notice.

Here are ten of the best poetic tweets we’ve seen in the last few weeks:

1.

Gnarled trail of roots and walnuts, stones and fallen limbs, cut stumps under the leaves, every footstep must be placed in the present.

— Boiarski (@Boiarski) October 14, 2013

2.

 

. Bird’s nest weathered as a hundred year house. #micropoetry — Positively Wyrde (@Wyrde) September 28, 2013

 

3.

 

a songbird perched in majestic color writes his Autumn music on the leaves just before they fall. #museinlove — S.E.Thompson (@dreamersteve_99) October 14, 2013

 

4.

playful wind ~ shakes the rose plants ~ petals flying all around ~pink red and yellow hues ~against the blue sky background #gogyohka #tanka

— Amoz Tan (@amoz1939) October 14, 2013

 

5.

Liz Lemon ghazal: it won’t happen, but if it did, what would the refrain word be? Cheese? It’d probably have to be cheese, right? — Brandon Amico (@amicob) October 2, 2013

 

6.

“Autumn Love” She breezes by. Gathers. Leaves. I fall. #JoeBisicchia #micropoetry — The B_Line (@TheB_Line) October 13, 2013

7.

darkness falls weightless indigo silence #micropoetry — caroline skanne (@CarolineSkanne) October 13, 2013

It’s so sad that Peppa Pig and Wibbly Pig are related but will never meet because they live in different TV channels. — Sixth Form Poet (@sixthformpoet) September 25, 2013

 

10.

 

Retweet My Existence — Boston Poetry (@PoetryBoston) September 27, 2013

 

Bonus tweet, because we couldn’t pass this one up:

Don’t trust that wooden horse! Didn’t you see the large wooden rabbit bit in Holy Grail?! #maybealargewoodenbadger #Xena

— Jessica Olin (@olinj) September 28, 2013

      Soofia, hi there 🙂

      We find the tweets while we’re on Twitter. If you’re interested in catching our attention, go ahead and follow @Edaypoems and @tspoetry and when you tweet a poem you can use the hashtag #tsptry. We’ll catch sight of it, and if it’s a fit, we’d be happy to feature! 🙂

    “Autumn Love” was perfectly beautiful.
