Twittles have been popping up everywhere on Medium this past week. It’s great to see some new faces on board the twittle train. 🚂

What the heck is she talking about?

For those of you who aren’t familiar with twittles, they’re a special variety of micropoem. The four-line poem at the start of this post is an example of a twittle. In a nutshell, a twittle is exactly 100 alphabet letters arranged into four lines of poetry with an optional smatter of rhyme. These compact little poems are perfect to tweet on Twitter (or any other social media platform for that matter).

A twittle is exactly 100 alphabet letters arranged into four lines of poetry with an optional smatter of rhyme.

I’ve been ‘steering’ the twittle train around Medium (and Twitter) for a few months now — ever since I launched twittles in October last year. I love stopping and welcoming new twittle passengers on board the twittle train. This week we’ve had quite a few.

A cheery ‘twoot-twoot’ to our newest twittlers -

R. Rangan PhD with Three Twittles and a Haiku — yes three twittles straight up. Way to go, Rach! She even throws in a bonus haiku just for fun — or is she trying to tell us something? 😉

Melanie J. with Crazy Little Twittle — Melanie shares her twittle drama story before retreating to her haiku comfort zone. What is it about haiku?! 😆

William J Spirdione with Spring Scene — yes, folks, the sonnet master is on the twittle train! 😄

Thalia Dunn with Twittle Dee — getting into twittle groove with a trio of witty twittles. Twoot-twoot!! 😂

Venu with My Superpower — her superpower is one that’s sure to make you jealous! 😋

But that’s not all. Some of our seasoned twittlers have also been getting their twittle on!

Dr. Preeti Singh demonstrates her mix’n’match superpower with My Love Song in a Twittle 😍

Patrick M. Ohana with Not Again — he says he’s sick of twittles but he’s pulled three out of his … I don’t know, where do your twittles come from, Patrick? Or is it M? 😜

Era Garg with Yellow Ikigai — showing us how to give twittles some cultural sophistication. Bless you, Era. 🙏

And in the caboose!

A couple of newbie twittlers who snuck onto the twittle train recently while I was napping! 😴 Oops, sorry, guys!! My bad. Welcome aboard. Hope you’re enjoying the ride. ✨

Jeff Langley with Tweet of Burden — channeling the Rolling Stones. And why not? Anything goes with twittles, doesn’t it, Patrick?! 💥

Dennett with Catlike Words — oh, the luxury of a good stretch! 😺

It’s twittle time again!

A twittle is a 100-letter, 4-line micropoem with a bit of rhyme They’re lots of fun without much strain Come & join the twittle train 🚂
