Reading Along (Twitter Poem #2)

prep class reading duty
small girl whispers (awestruck)
your turn to read with the brown mummy
oh if the whole world were children
reading along with the brown mummy...

  1. Fantastic, Maxine - short and powerful. Can I ask whether twitter's constraints made a difference during the composition process for you in any way? Were you conscious of the space/limits?

  3. Ashley - Interesting you should ask - I did have to remove a few words. I realised that most of my poems are kind of circular and it was tricky to come full circle in such a short space.

    Yeah Gabrielle, I had such fun with them!
