Evil Monkey
With appreciation — and/or apologies — to Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane)
Evil Monkey lurks in UR closet still
Hoochies w/ Gucci
Poos in Choos
Adds notches 2belts
Nests in dirty laundry
Witnesses childhood
J’accuse!

Happy Holidays – with apologies
First, I wish all my readers, visitors, browsers a very happy holiday season – no matter what festivities you treasure.
Next, I apologize for my lack of postings over these many weeks. Unfortunately, personal family illness and related issues forced me to focus elsewhere.
Nevertheless, I scribble new Poetweetry ideas on napkins, envelopes and receipts. Look for some fun verses as well as special Christ, personal and animal poem cycles to come in the new year.
Thank you for your support and encouragement for the “new and improved” Poetweetry tweets and blog. I appreciate your time and interest so much!
Again, Happy Holidays and even more best wishes for a Happy and Peaceful New Year!
Audrey

Daredevils breathe fire
Loop-the-loop
Around the world
in 90 minutes
Wing walkers watch warily
Will they storm the barn?
Or buy the farm?

Morning star crests
Cardinal chalks wind
Impulsive stem defies frost
Some obscure divinity ignites

I create

No haiku, no rhyme

3-2-1 RELAUNCH!
Thanks for your patience while I’ve tinkered with our Poetweetry site.
Hope you like the redesign. We may have to tighten up a few things as we go — you know how these webby things can get funky at times.
Please enjoy future poems, artwork and other posts.
Also, I’d love any feedback you might have about the redesign or Poetweetry in general. Please feel free to comment after the post — or send me a private note via the “Contact” page above.
I will start out with reprint of one of my first posts that attempts to explain what Poetweetry is and is not.
Again, thank you for reading. Hope you enjoy. Glad we connect via the cyberwaves!
Audrey
