This is a new style I call a Tweetie. It must be numbered succinctly. Each number can't have more than 240 characters but it can have as few as 1.
1/ FOR GRACIE
your grace so sensitive
other’s pain penetrates
so intense the hurt -you burn
there’s acid in your tears
one more pin hole in your heart
2/ how do we endure the monster
the monster
the monster -resides
the white house
unwanted -uninvited
and you gracie
erace
a thousand hims
he
the blatant error
you
the corrective balance
and you should know
it is you
mends our ailing world
3/ weak men are too heavy
for the planet to carry
covered in grime too filthy
for the oceans to cleanse
his eyes plastered he sees
nothing
and when it comes to light
even the blind feel its touch
but you gracie
you’re more special than that
4/ you’re the flame that lights the sun
the tender touch soothes the moon
even more -the eyes -color skies blue
and when you cry
i feel your tender tears
because that’s what you are tender
too tender for a world
paved hot with hate
5/ and gracie my heart leaks
and gracie i want to hand you
words -holds your heart steady
you mean more to Earth
all it holds in bouquets
of miraculous paintings
the kind evil folk will never sense
it’s you gracie that center gem
she holds
like me the world recognizes
6/recognizes you’re
a natural resource
drapes the world
in its ultimate beauty
and who you are
is exactly that
the ultimate beauty
displays the hope
we are better than we think
better because gracie -you’re here
