Twitter poetry 2021: Week 42

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 oddquains 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 oddquains!

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David

My 1st #oddquain:

1 refers to the right 2

An #oddquain:

rocks

entertaining once ~
just like today's computer
games

An #oddquain:

she's
asleep, next
to me, against my
leg; my child's snoring is so
cute

An #oddquain:

a
question: what
unites us? COVID?
the Internet? anything
else?
