I'm feelin' inspired today o' alt'days - when George Bailey'st' richest man int'own, but I can't think of out worth writin' so I wrote this.
Tweet Verse is a poem which uses up all the characters allocated to a tweet on Twitter. This particular one is to be read in a Yorkshire twang (Northern England)

It's so sad that people need
Likes, comments, follows,
To feel happy with the lives they lead.

I know that personally,
I base my worth on how my work is received,
How well my words bleed.

Days must have been simpler, before
Our worth was defined by Facebook likes,
Follows on Twitter,
These things just to make us not bitter.

When we didn't live through screens,
And we were less vain;
I think the world was probably
A little less insane.

Love drunk murderers

                                                    subtweeting our inadequacies

Opening apps to know how you feel.

140 characters

                        but you chose to act like a *****.

If I curse your name at the bottom of the ocean

do you hear it?

He who says escapism cannot solve your problems
has never been a cinephile with depression
who can sit and watch The West Wing in his pants.
Tweet verse or a Twitter poem made up of exactly 140 characters
Oscar Mann Oct 2015
People took pictures of each other
Just to prove that they loved one another
Just to prove that they really existed

People take pictures of themselves
Just to prove that they’re happy with themselves
Just to prove that they’re really existing

So they filter their faults, like their Instagram photos
And they summarize all that is good in a sentence or two
And they practice their smiles as if it is worthwhile
To try to like life just to get a few likes

And the only thing that is left to be real
Are the things that are real and that people feel
They shouldn’t be sharing, thinking it’s scary
To actually share what they feel is too real

Longing to hear your voice

5:38AM
I didn't even dream,
But I'm positive I missed you there too

11:11PM
The thought of holding your hand
Is bliss

4:06AM
I'm a sinking ship because of this

2:24PM
Take my love and run

6:34PM
Can't help but to look for you
In every face I pass

12:34AM
If it were possible for one to fall apart
Like puzzle pieces
Maybe then you could see it

10:18AM
Maybe I could make a home
In my dreams
A series of unfortunate tweets.

U text me dis
I text U dat
She dissed my dis
I sent last Sat.

U LOL’ed
on down the list
I sexted sixth—
my 7th missed.

U banned my width
I booked your face
U twittered on—
She saved my space.

U scrolled me down
He tweeted smiles
We USB’ed,
recharging miles . . .

U giga-bit
encrypted files;
I saved as mine
and cached denials.

In digital
we re-erased,
then Skyped our souls
and interfaced.
Babylon is falling...

If I had to drown one thousand deaths
And sink beneath a quarry
I'd still want to spend all those one thousand breaths
Telling you I'm sorry
