Twitter is great.

This afternoon I decided I wanted to try writing a crowd-sourced poem. So I introduced the concept on Twitter:

It went great. Here’s the result of the first ever (that I know of) “#chainpoem.” I’ve added the Twitter names of the author of each line, linked to their tweets.

Dirt to Dirt

When I was a boy, I enjoyed eating worms (@TimSevenhuysen)
Their dirt coating looked like chocolate spread (@LorGraham)
On my tongue I enjoyed their wiggles and squirms (@maryhutson)
And I’d wonder “Is this what I’ll taste when I’m dead?” (@ConceptCrucible)

Thank you to everyone who participated!
