Poetry 2.0 – Perpetual Twitter Poem

January 30, 2009 in Digital, Poetry with 0 Comments

perpetual_poem_screenshotPoetry + Web 2.0 = Poetry 2.0

I have created a new incarnation of my Perpetual Poem on Twitter which is now live on Todd Pitt.com and can be accessed from the Digital Poetry Page or directly here @ Perpetual Poem.  Everytime you go back to the poem it will render dynamically and change in real time, so everytime you go back you will experience a different (most recent) slice of the poem.  You can always click on “Read More” in the bottom right hand side of the page if you want to view the full text.  The hard URLs for the project:

Twitter – http://www.twitter.com/perpetualpoem

Perpetual Poem – http://toddpitt.com/content/perpetualpoem/index.html

Eventually I am going to add more elements into this eternal twitter poetry micro-blog poem, to deepen the experience, but for now I really like it!  Let me know what you think? If there are other twitter poems that you like drop a link and I will check it out.

Twitter Poetry is Growing

My perpetual poem seems to be growing along with twitter poetry day after day.  And just in case you did not know more people are joining twitter everyday, discovering twitter poetry, and the many different forms it is taking on.

This is a screenshot of yet another follower who is discovering that poetry is very much alive on the web and now it is living in ways that were nver possible or existed before the creation of Twitter (a micro-blogging service).

Geeking Out With Twitter Poetry

December 3, 2008 in Digital, Poetry with 0 Comments

Several months ago I started an endeavor I called “Perpetual Poem” as I was starting to see smatterings of poetry trickling onto Twitter.  Well while I have been busy working on more “professional” things the twitter poetry has turned into a full blown torrent with all kinds of twitter Haiku or as they call them now “Twaiku.”  I had a feeling that the haiku form would blow up on Twitter because of the 140 character limit and /’s could be used to indicate line breaks.  Looks like I was really right!

So you can expect a video blog entry about Twitter as it’s own social poetic form, a new media-um for dynamic and convergent poetry some time in the near future.
