Twitterbird, twitterbird
tweeting incessantly
a hundred and forty bytes,
or a few less.
Cetaceadeficient
sometimes (far too often)
servers can't handle
a few little texts.

The double dactyl requires neologisms! This should be true of more poetry forms.

how the heck did you come up with a word like 'cetaceadeficient'?

points for using it. double points for context clues fairly well defining it. and triple points for doing it all in a short poem. oi!

140 bytes

a bit is a 1 or a 0 and therefore only 2 values.
a byte is 8 1s or 0s and 256 possible values.

YOU NEED A BOOK.

A POEM EVERY DAY

The collected poems from my descent into madness year spent writing daily poems are now available from Lulu as the cheapest 330-page book they would let me make ($16.20). If that's too pricey, you can also get it from Lulu as a free download, or just click on the "a poem every day" tag to read them here. But if you did buy one, that'd be awesome.
