Twitter poetry 2021: Week 3

My blogger-poet-friend Ingrid inspired me to create a Twitter account and start writing #APoemADay, which I began on January 1, 2021.

I’ve been finding that I am particularly comfortable writing poems that reflect my more morbid thoughts in this micropoetry format, as I have expounded upon.

Below is my 3^rd week of Twitter poems:

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David

For her I live
Now and until

For myself I'll die
When the time comes

For, really,
What meaning do any of our words have? What meaning do any of our thoughts have? What meaning do any of us have? It's all

For naught, but don't tell her that. pic.twitter.com/vscKtaHY8f

Along the wall, before the fall, is all
Crawling through hall towards His call
Pa's chicken scrawl, her childhood doll
Her mother's shawl, Memories sprawl pic.twitter.com/bG3NiLQWDZ

This? Poetry?
A poet? Me?

Have not all eyes that we can see?

I play with words,
Words play with me.

But, yes, all quite intentionally.

Are poems
intentionality?

Could I be free to just be me?@Experimentsinfc #APoemADay pic.twitter.com/PMbjGfY6nF

Statistics

Statistically we're still alive
So we can witness others die#APoemADay @Experimentsinfc pic.twitter.com/LDyXXro5e1

Death speaks to me
but I can't hear it even
though I am trying

It might be saying
my time will come soon

After all, a 31-year-old
I once knew just died for
no good reason

I'm 41… but I can't hear
Death

Yet#APoemADay @Experimentsinfc pic.twitter.com/9pOiYDxT39

Hello I say to Death today
Hello, says Death. You're here to stay?
No, no, I say. Though rare I pray.@Experimentsinfc #APoemADay pic.twitter.com/zrgNLxbLQ7
