Short Twittered Poems

Clyde yearned for a kiss 'neath the mistletoe

   But not a gal took notice of his woe

      The ladies just twittered

         As by him they skittered

            His fly was unzipped and ALL was aglow...

TWITTERING WINGS

Devout fairy in blue has followed you
As you twittered and boasted quite a few
Of so many friends
Embracing your dreads.
Embarrassed for you, so away she flew.

He reached out and took my hand.
Lingering warmth from the early morning 
Flowed between us,
Bird song piped and twittered,
Gentle spring sunshine
Broke through the chill March wind.
By the edge of the canal
I placed one foot in front of the other
And my heart smiled....

He twittered close to me 
 one wobble at a time 
 without a chirp without a sound 
 just feathers, beady eyes 

 He found 
 a pine cone on the ground
 and with his beak 
 he tossed it

 Then suddenly he flew away, 
 leaving me at the window 
 watching 
 like a morning starved girl 
 before her cafe au lait...

   or a technology-quitter --
   To never have tweeted or twittered

He could paint the air and draw the winds.
Of course that brief eulogy
was only spoken after his demise;
while alive he was often considered a clod and a bore.
Foreseeing no such post-mortem fame
he kept writing on water
knowing that there was an archive of his works
in an after-life waiting to be discovered
by his wandering soul.
In the meantime, ducks quacked, geese honked
and the little birds in his still beating heart
twittered on....
