My blogger-poet-friend Ingrid inspired me to create a Twitter account and start writing #APoemADay, which I began on January 1, 2021.
I don’t have much in the way of insights regarding this challenge of ours this week… I continue to feel that I’ve hit my stride (largely by taking it easier by aiming to write haikus and cross-posting from blog to Twitter). Actually, now that I think of it, I do want to make note of the fact that I wrote some tankas this week, rather than haikus. That’s somewhat more challenging for me, particular with Magnetic Poetry.
Also, now that we’re at the start of week 10 (a nice, round number), I want to say that I am very impressed with Ingrid for having come up with this idea in the first place – I think it’s a fantastic exercise.
Anyway, below is my 9th week of Twitter poems:

You’re so welcome David… just honest!
❤️ happy Saturday!
Okay, yes: I lie at night / dying to write / Oh, lies I write, / do! dye my night! –is brilliant. But I especially like that line: poetry upon water –and all the lines that led up to it, words growing into it. Poetry upon water. I can feel that, more than remember it. Aye, I need to do something with that. Thank you, David.
