Twitter Poems

Lately I've been experimenting with "twitter poetry", limiting my thoughts to 140 characters and seeing what I could come up.  I actually got this idea from a slam poet I saw in DC about a year ago, who opened her act with a poem she wrote over the course of a day on twitter. The following "pieces" (can't really call them anything else) were written over the course of a couple of months. As with everything I do feel free to write your comments. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I've been obsessed with "Howl" since I read On the Road in 11th grade. This is a brief attempting at linking "Howl" to hip-hop culture.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroy by hip hop, with a microphone wrapped around their neck #twitterpoetry
