Poetweets: Volume 1 (Spring 2022)

For the audio version:

Poetweet #1

So many characters
In a novel
So few characters
In a tweet
Many more characters
Than in the past
Remember 140
Now its 280
But the average tweet
Is still about 30 characters long
Because most tweets
Are not poems.
Is this a poem?
Or a tweet?
Yes.

Poetweet #2

So many characters
In a life
So few characters
In a tweet
Many of today’s characters
Are looking down
At their phones
Disconnected
Have forgotten
How to characterize
I’m holding this phone
To write this poem
Before quiet time.
Is this a poem?
Or a tweet?
Yes.
