Twitter poetry 2021: Week 27

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, I posted a recent series of 7 schuttelreims on Twitter for my daily poetry challenge. A schuttelreim is a two-line poem, which employs a spoonerism that makes sense. They are deceptively difficult… and they produce very silly results 🤡

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this week’s Twitter poems!

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David

A #schuttelreim:

Ugh… My socks don't match? It's never clear…
Well, I've got my wife (she's clever) near!

A #schuttelreim:

Captain EO rocked 'Billie Jean' out on his old space keyboard
Thus blowing out completely the darned thing's b chord

A #schuttelreim:

The beast stole forward, creeping slow
Soon puss would feast on sleeping crow

A #schuttelreim:

Edesia rushed back home with her divine, astronomical gait;
Lest Annapurna her vast stash of treats gastronomical ate

A #schuttelreim:

Though it struck puss a smidgen pudgy…
He thought the crow stout pigeon smudgy

A #schuttelreim:

The king, concerned, has thrown open his vast duck reserve;
In great famine, that's no less than the poor ruck deserve

A #schuttelreim:

Though the rapper's flow, deft, didn't clot… (!Never!)
she, female, was mocked: You are NOT clever…

A triumph. All of my own attempts turn out obscene! 🤨

Thanks, Colin – they’re very much like puzzles, ya know?
Although I don’t think there’s anything wrong with obscene poetry, per se 😀

I love these! For the pure joy of wordplay, Edesia is my favourite! 😊

Yeah – I was trying to figure out who would have an astronomical gait and also be into gastronomical things… 🙂

Oh my, these are difficult to write! Love the comic effects though 😂

Yeah, they’re really not easy, but they’re super fun❣️
Thanks, Shruba ❤

    I end up posting all of those Twitter poems here on WP every Friday anyway… so the real action is still here on the Skeptic’s Kaddish blog…

      Ohh I see, I do that with Instagram often. If I post anything worthwhile there, I end up sharing it here too. 😆😊
