Tiny poems

Twitku is a poetry form invented by Scott Schwister of Higher Edison higheredison.wordpress.com/

Scott explains:

"Briefly (and we do mean briefly), a twitku is a micro-haiku. A twitku follows the familiar proportions of a haiku, but in miniature form. Instead of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables each, a twitku’s lines are five, seven, and five characters each. A twitku looks like this:

hello/twitter/verse

Economy of language is a poet’s metier. Similarly, Twitter is all about keeping it short and. . . tweet. Twitter meets poetry, and twitku is born."
