Twitter poetry 2021: Week 14

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

This week, for some reason, I felt very pressed in keeping up with both my blogging and my Twitter poetry so I ended up posting poems on Twitter that I had written the very same day for my blog. There’s nothing wrong with that; I’ve taken a forgiving attitude towards myself when it comes to producing content… I’m prioritizing quality over quantity.

Below is my 14^th week of Twitter poems:

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David

cold darkness fading
distant horizon aglow
long shadows recall

This haiku was part of a larger piece that I wove together here: https://t.co/LIACkjIKZW pic.twitter.com/JGLX5oANOD

Crisped to perfection
Matzah brie on #Passover
Enslaving me so

but my god decayed
into warm liquid fish eyes
broken lips smoking
breathed poison words over me
melting into wake up kiss

Try tricube's
Limited
Syllables

This thin sill
Cannot bear
Many words

Would wooden
words crack in
two or three?

You’re just a raincloud, one ugly raincloud;
Your snivels upset when skies are blue;
You'll always feel, jerk, my deepest disdain;
Those useless teardrops know that it’s true

figure out your drive
hack the online content stream
upload love virus
intelligent performance
will boost network of writers

My 1st Shadorma:

Snippet of ~
Of our sure, full love ~
Chirps above,
Silky gloves ~
Push could never come to shove,
For we're so in love

Quality over quantity wins every time! I’m feeling terrible today so I don’t know if I’ll get one done.
