twitter speak

Twitter is one of the most popular means of "social networking" these days. In case you haven't heard, any message you put on twitter has to be 140 characters (including spaces between words) or less. A while ago, someone asked "tweeters" to submit poems that fell within the 140 character limit. Here are a few that I came up with:

life can be joyful

life can be sweet

it's much better shared

so you might as well tweet

***

life can be cruel

life can be bitter

for some comic relief

i'll see you on twitter

***

perhaps i don't know you

and we'll never meet

but i still love you

so just watch me tweet

***

here's some advice

that bears repeating

if you want to be cool

you'd better start tweeting

***

life's not too bad

but it could be sweeter

i fell down the stairs and

broke my damned tweeter!
