How to become a Trend on Twitter ?

Twitter trends are hot on twitter. Many tweeple tweet about trends as a strategy to get more followers on Twitter.

But when your check the latest tweets about trends with
twearch.notlong.com you'll found out that in a minute your tweet is
invisible and replaced with other trend tweets. So I doubt whether trend tweeting will give you more followers on twitter.

Maybe you can become a trend setter!

With many trends you think: what the f.. this trend is about.
On www.whatthetrend.com you can find the answer.

When following trends I noticed that many trends involve the word 'day': twoonday, followfriday, anzac day, ThankfulThursday, Earthday, ...

Twoonday involves changing your avatar to a cartoon character to cheer everyone up. Every Friday you can suggest good people to follow and hashtag it #followfriday. ANZAC Day is a national public holiday in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. People explain what they are thankful for on #ThankfulThursday. Earth Day, a day to raise awareness for environmental protection, will take place April 22, 2009.

So if want to become a trend setter on twitter: invent a twitterday.
Open for suggestions?

 

Looking for a twitter word for a twoosh poem!

Haiku poets write about everyday things.

A Haiku paints a mental image in the reader's mind in only 17 syllables over just three 3 lines of poetry (5-7-5)!

Twitter has embraced the haiku and calls it a twaiku.

Twitter is about: What are you doing? A twaiku is a tweet with a haiku to express the things you are doing. When you tweet a poem that isn't a haiku, then tweeple use the word Twoem.

A tweet of exactly 140 characters is called a Twoosh. I don't know whether there is already a twitter name for a twoosh poem. Any Suggestions?

I'll end this post with my leatest twaiku:


Draw me with your thoughts
and don't forget my wrinkles
the wisdom I earned

Happy Birthday!

Today's the day
we're glad to say

The Birthday Wish

Each birthday wish
I've ever made
really does come true
Each year I wish
you'll grow some more
and every year you DO!

The Birthday Cake

Ben turns eight today

a birthday cake
with candles for each year
and in the middle
his chocolate name

Happy birthday song!

John thomas has a birthday
hip, hip, hip, hooray!

Bilding Self Esteem through poetry

Poetry touches the heart. So touch your own heart by writing poetry.

The process of seeking words is also seeking in your soul, there starts the comfort and the healing. Is doesn't has to be a haiku or another poetry form. The basic is finding words of your own.


Pillow of silence
fearing feathers of words
saying you're worth it

Twitter poem and haiku or twoems and twaiku

A twaiku is a haiku posted on Twitter. Twitter is an ideal environment for the brevity of haiku. Some twaiku:

Seeing Saturnus
Imagine a ring of love
and feel surrounded

Dream the dream you dreamed
and maybe you will wake up
in another dream
