140 Character Poetry

RT @chman14:

Is there, I wonder.

A man without pen in hand.

But writes with his heart.

-Cliff (Haiku)

If you are shy about your submission, just use the direct message feature of twitter and I’ll post it anonymously if it is chosen.

The idea!

So I’m not that old or consider myself as a poet, but I do enjoy some creative ideas. I think this is one of them. Their are different styles to poetry and why not try and make a new one? This one is based on the limitations of Twitter.

The only rules for the poems is that they to have some sort of rhyme scheme/flow (mainly flow) and have to be under 140 characters (preferably slightly smaller so its easier to give credit within the 140 characters). I made the first poem and I hope to receive submissions from anyone willing to give it a shot. It can be on any topic you’d like, just have fun with it and follow the two rules.
