Twitter Poetry: Top Ten Poetic Tweets

By Will Willingham 7 Comments

We love to see your short poems on Twitter. This month we asked for Twitter poems on a few of our recent titles (including the brand new collection of love poems by L.L. Barkat, Love Etc.) along with #MOMApoems as part of the Museum of Modern Art’s #art140 campaign.

We’re featuring ten of your poems today. Want to see your Twitter poems featured? Just tweet us your poem on one of the following topics, and include both @tspoetryand the hashtag so we can find your poem. Once a month, we’ll tweet ten of our favorites.

1. How to Read a Poem #howtoreadapoem
2. Poetry at Work #poetryatwork
3. Taking Your Creativity to the Nth Degree #nthdegree
4. Love is… #loveetc

I used to be a claims adjuster, helping people and insurance companies make sense of loss. Now, I train other folks with ladders and tape measures to go and do likewise. Sometimes, when I’m not scaling small buildings or crunching numbers with my bare hands, I read Keats upside down. My first novel is Adjustments.
