Thank you for reading this twittle, #10 in the Poemorama at Paper Poetry. This piece of micro-poetry is a tribute to the countless animals of Ukraine, suffering and displaced because of the war.

Carolyn Hastings, twittles are so short they must be a bit of a riddle. They suit me just fine. Thank you for the light-hearted beauty in Baby Fingers!

If you enjoy unusual forms of poetry, here is another. I have written it with the honor to use Sandy Oppenheimer’s artwork.

A shout out to you, my friends. Please give twittles a try; just 100 letters, four lines with a bit of rhyme. Please tag me with yours! Sahil Patel, Cendrine Marrouat, Suma Narayan, Christine Graves, Lee David Tyrrell
