TWITTER POETRY

I have embraced Twitter. Hasn't everybody?

Really? Maybe not?

There are 284 million monthly active users on Twitter. With 500 million tweets sent each day, you are missing out by not being there. It is one of the top social networks and whether you use it for business or pleasure, there is sure to be something of interest for everyone.

For those who have discovered just how much you can fit into 140 characters, you can find me twittering about #writing, #poetry, #LdnOnt, and so much more. My handle is @KatherineKrige. Original, I know, but I save the creativity for the rest of the writing. At least that is what I like to think.

I won't inundate you with my twitter stream here, but occasionally some good stuff passes through the queue. I have written a pretty sharp haiku or two, but if you don't tweet, or are tweeting at different times from me and can't find me in your lists, you might have missed them. Hence, I thought I would share a few of my favourite micro-poems which have graced my twitter stream here. They are listed by date. 

Tweet on!

drain the sky of colour
sap me of my strength
the rain so neverending,
frames soul, my quiet plinth

primped and good behaviour
net nest every time

better together
sailing through life's ripples on
the river at dusk

tempts me with yesterday's flesh

snowflakes glint in lamp post glare
dreams of Christmas in the air
children giggle as they stare
be aware

Wiping the slate clean
A coat of paint, brush & grit
Erases holes from me

Listen to the rain
Drumming on the roof like mad
My happy garden

thunder across the rooftops
raindrops on the road
my plan
keep cozy tonight

Sunshine, I'm sweeping
dust bunnies dance fearfully
dump the vacuum & run!

Wind howls through the apple blossoms 
a cold heart retreats 
pictures of Spring

campfire in the hearth
soft crackles so peaceful
thoughts of you tonight

a breath
a spark
old flames reignited
new fire in my eyes

Day winds to a close
sweet sunshine with sheets on line
Spring arrived today

tears are frozen
mid-winter release comes
fly away home

Jazzy blues wind down the night
Be still my heart
What will the morrow hold

under smoky skyline

Fall's crisp last days

Moonlit night follows us home
A Shadow in its smile
tucked into bed
I dream of your white light
children of your promise

Good night to all
I shall dream under silvery light
of tomorrow's words

night creeps in

erases days repast

the moon glows

Little bird tapping

on my wet window pane

come in from the rain
