Twitter Poetry

My brother loves poetry. So when a new kind of poetry comes onto the scene, he had to share it with me.

Twitter Poetry, thanks to @pentametron who mines twitter for iambic pentameter, then finds phrases that go together. It makes for a good read!

Here is an sample of the feed from 4/17/13:

@ZaynM_RP     And find a girl and tell her she's the one
