140 Characters … to a Rhyme

#Twitterfiction Harder to write than prose yet poetic expression is more elegantly

emotive by far, than one may ever aspire to, prosaically.

As the form of written expression most like, in #twitterfiction, a lyrical hymn,

between chapter and verse … verse is most favored … by Him.

To wit, the superlative verse of the great poets, amongst them, in #twitterfiction,

Ovid, Emily, Robert, Maya and, the immortal … William.

Willy’s rep towers. He is among the best of the west. #Twitterfiction-ally, the best

in the east … Khalil and Rumi; three … of the best.

Inspired by Him, Willy, Rumi, Ovid, and Emily, Art knows; one could do worse, in

#twitterfiction, than aspire to a poet’s, sublime, diction.

Twitter’s one hundred and forty character formula is, in #twitterfiction,

surprisingly, educational; useful, in marketing and … education.

#Twitterfiction: If, prior to an 83rd character, prospective tweeters bring to end

then a first line, then … with a rhyme … one may … end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ON HUMANITY … NATIONALITY … AND SPIRITUALITY

Poetry, albeit belatedly, resonates within Arthur’s soul. His memories, and the poetically
rendered memories of others, profoundly reverberate within him, loudly,
albeit, inaudibly. Wordsmiths, (wo)men of peace, are his heroes and heroines; Ovid, Willy,
Emily, Khalil and Maya, et. al., eloquently teach us, albeit … sublimely.

Oh, what a specious species are we! We relegate our very real humanity to a status effectively
below that of abstractly surreal identities of nationality and spirituality.
Wordsmiths, (wo)men of peace, ought be our heroes and heroines; Ovid, Willy, Emily,
Khalil and Maya, via their poetry … might teach us … albeit, sublimely.
