The
Twitterverse hasn't yet settled on a name for Tweeted Haiku, but that won't stop me from posting the 17 syllable mini-poems. Nor will it keep me from tooting my own horn about a most surprising development. Check out my "ranking" in this article at
Chicago Now's
Breaking Tweets Chicago:
Top Haiku Twitter accounts in Chicago. Many thanks to Craig Kanalley for the honor.
It inspired the following haiku:
Slow-creeping, pink blush
false humility's dyed mask
smiles, overwhelming
Meanwhile, here's my attempt at the 5-7-5-7-7 structure of a tanka, which I tweeted yesterday in response to the word prompt "weary":
Mid-summer sunlight's
wavy, white radiation
fans glass-print petals
pushes shut moon-weary lids
burns a crimson path inward
