This isn’t an attempt by
Haiku-enthused form poets
to limit your free verse self!

What’s your line anyway?
Are you the doting mother
or girlfriend of a laureate?

Billy Collins and Garrison
Keiler are first rate at poetic
output, criticism and style.

These champions make us
look in the mirror starting at
birth and not ending ever.

While we’re praising, let’s
add Mark Twain, Will Rogers
and Dorothy Parker to our list.

The tricks of the trade are
sarcasm, reality, hilarity, yeah,
and truth at any cost.

I never wanted to be tweeted
as much or more than I do
while I’m writing now.

140 words and illegal character
count are the names of this
prompt, so give it a go.

A fitting finale for most poets
would be a li’l heart sent
100 times in earnest.
