But I'm trying something new for Poetry Friday, a brainstorm that occurred to me while driving around yesterday: a Twitterpoem. I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of this idea, but I did think of it all by myself. <BR/><BR/>So, if you check out my latest Twitter post (marked #Twitterpoem) you'll find the inaugural edition. I'd like to try to post more of these from time to time, as inspiration strikes. Generally, I get struck with a line or two rather than an entire poem, so I thought this would be a fun way to share them. <BR/><BR/>(As you can see, I'm being wimpy about this and burying it in the comments...but feel free to join me in the creation of Twitterpoems!)Sarah Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534942492714970282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-91376379030460134002008-10-24T12:29:00.000-07:002008-10-24T12:29:00.000-07:00I remember this one!

Thank you for posting it now, with the air thick with wolf-talk.<BR/><BR/>For some reason it reminds me of a piece on NPR last night about political ads. Two men who do voices for the ads were interviewed, and practiced saying certain phrases in a way that made them sound super-evil -- or wolf-like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-76774004900190301132008-10-24T07:40:00.000-07:002008-10-24T07:40:00.000-07:00Wow.
