The Twitterli Poems

In a race against time for all

Everybody is on the run

And communication gets structured and restricted

To 280 characters for a tweet

And that is the order of the day

It is a generation of Unpoets

Accidental entrants

To the poetry universe

It is more like Twitterli poems

That conveys the essence

In a form that is a synthesis of

Prose and Poetry in equal measures

Keeping it brief, as

Brevity is the soul of wit.

It is a fast thought joint

Theme is plotted

Lines are dotted

It tells anything and everything

Freewheeling stories

That you and I face everyday

A reflection of images

Here and there – and everywhere

And brings out a short travelogue

Of a long-distance journey in life

In a minute or so.
