Listening to my Twitterline I hear voices worth Hundreds of years of echo chambers Sharing about Schwarzchild black holes Cosmic strings being but wrinkles In Time-Space continuum Chirping incomplete truths Says a joker An elephant is strolling In a Delhi market On a very cold winter day A poet starts playing at Angry Birds And gets way ahead in a matter of hours Cute little So-fi-a Tells us on You Tube «Be kind» Some scientist studied The behavior of virtual flocks of birds He is calling «Boids» I download a free eBook sample And, on a second wind I decipher #ebDish Quote RT some photo link Of a gorilla having a bad hair day And replay again and again Geometrical patterns on video About Garret Lisi’s Theory of everything Merkabas of light Tunes from deep space My spirit soaring Listening to my Twitterline

Hiya Yolande,
Welcome again to the forum. I love this piece. Where would any of us be without Twitter? It's funny how lots of people have quit making fun of Twitter and Twitterheads since the successful overthrow of the Egyptian government. People who once looked down on Twitter are now scrambling to get aboard the Twitter Express!
A very enjoyable and totally contempory poem. A great debut!
Brigid

I like this too! The disconnectedness of it all, tied together by that one thing in common.

Thank you so much Brigid and Deborah: Twitter is such a great connector isn'it? Listening to #Oscars tonite was much more fun than the TV show itself! And I found this place through Twitter too Nice to meet you both!

Like you all, I am on Twitter Reilley, and I loved this poem! Lots of interstitial fragments, just like a Twitter stream.
