Welcome Friends:We are a noble society of wordsmith's, mere mortals rearranging simple letters into words, and words into verse. We are the next generation walking in the steps of the greats like Robin Williams as we take the Dead Poets Society too its logical progression...poetry, prose written within the narrow confines of a Tweet. We are twoets hoping to find energy to create and share great twoetry.
To write poetry, one must know the canvas. The canvas here is the simple yet majestic Tweet which is created within the sacred land of the Twitter. A tweet is a group of 140 (or less) pixels shared within the microblogging community that we all know and love as Twitter. We created tweets and all was good so we became tweeters and were obsessed. Great minds tweeted great thoughts and many widgets and gadgets were breathed into life and Twitter thrived.
One day while counting syllables for a haiku searching for the mystical 17 it occurred to me that 140 was itself a number of some significance, at least to someone. If the great creative minds of Japan could have the Haiku and its 17 syllables, it is only fair and just that the netizens inhabiting the land of Twitter have their twoetry, poems and prose written within the narrow constraints of 140 characters, and so it shall be.
Knowing it was time, the Dead Poets Society began sending out Tweets to those followed, and followers alike as word spread to all corners of Twitter. The poet, the physician, the hemp farmer and global warming scientist, the Twitter Elite and the other Gods of our legend saw our tweets and began to write.
Let us rejoice and write our twoetry so that others might see our tweets and be enlightened. You; like all great heroes are called to be twoets, the chosen to bring twoetry to the land of Twitter. By the way, can someone build me a WIDGET on which all can view the Twoetry emanating from this blog?
