A Twittle Is A Something Uncommon And Pretty Rare For Now
My topic is rare also, and here goes.
“Twittle Poem Formula:
* It is a 100-letter,
* Four-line,
* Very short,
* Micro-poem.”
Wire Editor Newman
My introduction to a twittle was on medium where I wrote two twittles. The original challenge article has been credited to Carolyn Hastings. She continues to be a watcher of Twittles on Medium.
I enjoy trying uncommon poem formats and will share this poetry form with others when I get a chance as I believe it to be rather rare.
Here is my third attempt at a rare Twittle Poem:
The Death of Our Granddaughter.
A grand had a rare genetic disorder
Number two in birth order
Difficult loss at four months
Hope that feeling is just once.

A Poem a Day in February Is Coming Fast
With A Poem a Day in February approaching so fast, I am looking for different poetry forms to try out. This morning I read a poem written by William J Spirdione. He wrote a tawddgyrch cadwynog. He reported that it is a Welch poetic form.

My fingers dance across the yellowed pages of the library’s archaic volumes. Despite the candle illuminating the shelves, I’m not searching for a book. Instead, I’m relentlessly investigating the halls for a door to run from the horrible reality that consumed all our lives.

I loved this, Denise! I enjoy learning new things, so this was a treat! And I thought you did a wonderful job on your own twittle!!!
Hard to condense such emotion into this concrete form....nice job. I never heard of Twittles before. I do so love a form poem! I look forward to learning more; take our lexical skills and grow “em! what fun! Thanks for this!
