What’s so special about twittles?

That’s another good question.

A twittle is no ordinary four-line micropoem. What makes it special is that it’s constructed using exactly 100 alphabet letters with an optional rhyme scheme.

Twittles are also special because I launched them last October right here on Medium! Last month, I wrote an update about them which included an invitation for everyone to come on board the twittle train 🚂. You can read it in the link below -

Now for the confession

I would like to tell you that the woman in the header image with her superpowered flexible body was me, but I would be lying. The only way I could do a handstand would be in an anti-gravity chamber. I justify my aerial incompetence by telling myself (and anyone else who wants to listen) that, being a Virgo, my element is earth, and that’s where I like to keep my feet — firmly on the ground!

I do admire anyone who has the superpower of twisting, contorting, elevating or levitating😅 their bodies into amazing configurations.
