Twitter poetry 2021: Week 40

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 hay(na)kus 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 hay(na)kus!

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David

My 1st hay(na)ku:

syllables
shan't have
the last word

I like the stream of consciousness of these. (K)

❤ thanks, Kerfe ❤

That’s great! I also did 365 days of posts a couple of years ago, though not on Twitter… it was a wonderful experience but pretty draining too.
Your blog is very insightful and interesting 🙂

Thank you so much, Mona – that’s very sweet of you ❤

Were your 365 posts all poems?

🙂

  No, they were not all poems, they were a mish-mash of poem and prose- motivation for every day.
