My blogger-poet-friend Ingrid inspired me to create a Twitter account and start writing #APoemADay, which I began on January 1, 2021.
Well, well, well… looks like I’ve officially made it halfway to my goal of Tweeting one poem a day for the entire year of 2021. Not bad, eh? I must confess that I’m a bit proud of myself 😁 Oops! I miscalculated! It hasn’t been 1/2 a year yet…
This week, for some reason, I went on a senryū binge, and all of my Twitter poems turned out to be senryūs. I relate to them all as a mini-series, I suppose… and maybe I’ll do something like this again. Perhaps I’ll do a series of a different poetic form for the following week!
Anyway, please enjoy the last week’s Twitter poems below –

This one is my fav-
“have you ever sighed
rupturing a hole within
which had nearly healed?”
Although I tried it. And I think it’s the inhalation that tore the scab, hitched my breath and resulted in a sputtering cough.
harsh inhalation
causes a sputtering cough
air cutting like knives
I love your dedication and your great poems
indeed…. I know this …
“have you ever sighed
rupturing a hole within
which had nearly healed?
Deeper healing to be done.
ALSO, REALLY LOVE..
the grandma one💖
thanks 🙂
I think my Mama also appreciate that one 😉

Creative work, David.
Tough choice, but I think I like the “tweak two weak” one the best (if pressed to choose). 😄
Thanks so much, Michele ❤
I actually did/do wonder which one(s) my friends/readers prefer the most!
Shabbat shalom,
David
Half way there! Well done on keeping your commitment to yourself 🌺
✨🙏✨ Christina ✨🙏✨
All best,
David
I do like this “series” but there are some days when a haiku/senryūs just isn’t enough…
indeed… but I do write other stuff too – this is the minimum that I’ve set for myself 😀
These are amazing! Will follow you on twitter as well!
Primadisya, thank you ❤
FWIW, the real action is here on my blog – I mostly use Twitter to post my daily micropoems.
All best,
David
Congratulations David. Keep on! I like them all, but my favorite is the self”reflection” of self. Nicely done. Peace🙏

David your poetry
A celebration of life
May it renew you
These are beautiful and amazing, David. My favorite is the second to last.
That’s awesome you’re halfway through the poem a day challenge. I couldn’t keep up with it, personally. That’s why it’s a challenge I suppose. 😁 Kudos to you, and such awesome work.
Lucy, you are so kind. Thank you much.
I confess that I’d thought it was much easier than it’s turned out to be!
Shabbat shalom,
David
