I would rather be a blog than a twit

I would rather be a blog than a twit

I would rather be a blog than a twit
cause what I write it seems just won’t fit.

140 characters is a mighty tight tweet

for we who revel in verbiage,
it's not that simple or neat  

Squishing e’ry word or not
being forced to choose

'til our truest purpose is what we lose.

Nor do Facebook’s strictures send me to the stratus,

 409 spaces can never express my status.

Tossing pebbles in the pond
to watch the spreading ripples

is the best way I know to get my giggles.
So it’s onto this blog my muse may be found.

I hope my pals will come round

to share thoughts, silly, sublime and, on occasion, profound.

Free to share all the words in the world
to tell what we see and feel and dare 

so here is the link to join me
if you care!
