For
this year’s Poetry Month, I wrote and posted a micro poem every day on Twitter.
It was a fun challenge to condense “the best words in the best order” into 140
characters or less. Less, really, since I tried to squeeze in the hastags
#micropoetry and #PoetryMonth with each post, too!
Here
are my five favorites. Enjoy....

Thick
sleep, strong coffee—
the
day’s armor donned,
I
begin to write and find
there
is no battle but a dance.
+
For wrists & knuckles, knees & hips,
for all the parts that twist & bend
with & without me thinking—thank you.
+
Between
finger & thumb,
between
river & shore,
between
yes & no,
every “if”
awaits.
+
Yesterday,
a Machado poem fell
from
my pocket. To you who
finds
it—let the bees spin honey
from
every marvelous error.
+
I
opened an old set of drawers in my mind,
dumping
out lists & grudges & desires.
So
little to keep, I tossed
the
dresser, too.
