We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

In that lost part....



Poetry month, day 24

For this Tuesday Platform at "imaginary garden with real toads" we are offered the suggestion of writing twitter poetry, within the 140 character limit. Here's mine:


In that lost part ...

In that lost part of morning
just after first light
I forget not to think of you.
You're linked now 
to birdsong, and rosy sky.
#tweetpoem


I do occasionally write twitter poetry (or tweetpoems) and am grateful to Sanaa, today's prompter, for not specifying a poem of exactly 140 characters. This leaves room for me to include the hashtag, which I normally do.

The poem is untitled, but this post had to have a title, so I made it the opening phrase.

Yes, the poem has been posted – hashtagged and untitled – to @SnakyPoet on twitter.

Nearly a year later: But I have now deleted my twitter account, after years of using it less and less often.
