Twitter poetry 2021: Week 38

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 series of landays to Twitter, which I wrote a while ago… Actually, I’m thrilled to say that I’ve completed my full year’s worth of micropoems for 2021, meaning that I no longer have to compose poems for this particular project. From here on out, I’ll only be posting these weekly compilations of micropoems on Fridays! Huzzah!

I hope you enjoy these landays!

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David

A #landay:

Thought experiment: If gender roles
are so natural, need religion reinforce them?

A #landay:

What's the deal with religious people
who swear; lie; cheat; steal; abuse; rape; perpetuate hate?

A #landay:

Memories are quite malleable;
Everything decomposes before recomposing

Matrimony is not a contract
granting limitless access to another's body

Friday-Saturday is the weekend
in Israel and most Muslim countries. Let's party.

A #landay:

The first line left him trembling, sweaty;
his racing heart convulsed at the second, longer line

A #landay:

I am not well versed in poetry
The line between writing versus verses confounds me

Very nice job. Meaningful and truth on all fronts but the last. I have to humbly disagree with the last one. You are very well versed in verses. Good Shabbos.
