"Failures – Random Twitter Poem for June 9th"
Wanderer Thoughts Poetry (June 9, 2010)
"Failures
"Disheartening philosophy
"of misty sarcastic perseverance
"indefinable bittersweet ambition...."
This isn't a terribly long poem - Dragon Blogger, the author, collects words for these 'Random Twitter Poems" through Twitter. On June 9th, Twitter was unusually prone to produce 'over capacity' messages when folks tried posting 'Tweets.' Frustrating: and probably accounts for the relatively small number of words supplied.
About the poem itself: This isn't, I think, going to replace the sonnets of Shakespeare in English literature. On the other hand, I've had days when I felt like that - and I think Failures does a good job of expressing a particular sort of emotional response to - I won't use the word "failure," I'll say "setbacks."
A tip of the hat to dragonblogger, on Twitter, for the heads-up on his poem.
