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 abhangas 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 abhangas!
Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David
Wonderful ones, David. ๐

Excellent! I am agog to see what will come from you next! This set made me think and ponder and consider this life in a slightly different light… and that is what good poetry should do!!

And connection as well.

I like the way these all reach out and invite conversation. (K)

I love your poems a day and I’m glad you printed a bunch of them here as, alas, I am…Tweetless.

Brilliant.
“Solitude, glorious?
That’s weak consolation
in dark isolation
dying, diseased
Solitude, glorious
when expected to end
Come, let us not pretend
we don’t suffer”
I teared up at that.

Wonderful thoughts. I am struggling with who I โspeakโ to. The universe seems appropriate but doesnโt roll off my tongue.

Great abhangas!You’re coming out with new forms every week ๐. And btw,about the DVerse link challenge,what poems should we submit,there wasn’t any particular specification…? ๐
you mean for Open Link Night?
anything goes for OLN – any poem (but only one)
Oh ok! Thanks ๐
Very very thought provoking – your religion and mine, if I were to begin praying again, I, too, would not know what to say.
