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, the very last week of 2021, I posted a series of Biolets to Twitter, which I wrote a while ago. I’m thrilled to say that I’ve completed my full year’s worth of micropoems for 2021, and this is the final post in that series.
Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David
My 1st #biolet:
— Skeptic's Kaddish (@kaddish_s) December 25, 2021
We creatures yearning to #connect#Hearts not designed to beat alone
Pulsing #truths that would be known
Zigzagging #life-lines #intersect
Hearts not designed to beat alone
We creatures yearning to connect

My 2nd #biolet:
— Skeptic's Kaddish (@kaddish_s) December 26, 2021
Some #love to #hate; some cloy with love#Jewish, I oft feel fetishized
Blinders perspectives polarize
Flesh, bone and blood we are one of
Jewish, I oft feel fetishized
Some love to hate; some cloy with love

I ask a lot of #answers
Frustrations manifesting
Quite clear what I'm suggesting
When I bring up child #cancer#Frustrations manifesting
I ask a lot of answers

A #biolet:
— Skeptic's Kaddish (@kaddish_s) December 28, 2021
Drawn I deep into #symbolism
Soon, honey for a sweet New Year#Rituals with loved ones near we share
Love pouring through time-honored prism
Soon, honey for a sweet New Year
Drawn I deep into symbolism

A #biolet:#Together, we make #poetry
— Skeptic's Kaddish (@kaddish_s) December 29, 2021
Weaving #writing with #reading#Art comes of two minds meeting
For seed alone shan't grow a tree
Weaving writing with reading
Together, we make poetry

You'd think words would want to be free
Still, #verses mine crawl into forms
I urge them to buck dated #norms
Cajoling, nudging, how I plea!
Still, verses mine crawl into forms
You'd think words would want to be free

Pick up #daughter / dirty #dishes
Do #laundry / #Shop for #Shabbat
That's my thin-spread #life, uncut ~
Oh… And whatsoever my #wife wishes
Do laundry / Shop for Shabbat
Pick up daughter / dirty dishes
