Hey! Great job with these Twitter poems! They were each very creative and witty-very enjoyable to read! I loved the second poem so much. The hashtag really went with the poem but it also completely changed the readers thought of the meaning of the poem! Love it! I had a hard time reading the poems so I think it would help if the text was bigger. Also, I do not understand how the hashtag in the third poem works with the poem. Overall, great job!
These tweet poems were so clever! I like how you took a common poem in the first poem and made it your own, especially be putting your signature blog name in the hashtag. I also enjoyed how the reader isn't sure what they're reading about until reaching the hashtag at the end. I thought I was reading about something else until reading the hashtags, which definitely added a fun tone to the poems. Your poems showed me that you could add different meanings to poems through simple hashtags #talent!
I loved how you took a different take on these twitter poems, and made them with a funny and clever twist. Each ending was a surprise to me, and it is not easy to achieve that effect, so great job! I think you really effectively used the hashtag to change the entire meaning of the poem, which is essentially the point of twitter poems. Good job!
I like how you designed your hashtags to be like a punch at the end of an anecdote. The juxtaposition of describing something sad with the #brownbananas was especially funny and surprising. One comment, in the second twitter poem, I don't fully understand the phrase "Soaring above all those who doubted me." I don't immediately see its relevance to sleep walking but maybe the point is the exaggerated drama behind it.
The last twitter poem is fantastic!!! It really speaks about life and how we don't realize how time has passed. The brown banana hashtag was amazing and really encompassed the idea that Professor Miller wanted from these twitter poems. It was difficult reading this poems, I wish it was bigger and more clear on the screen.
I'm laughing so hard from your first twitter poem. It's so clever, and I obviously love how the hashtag goes with the title of your blog. The whole thing is super witty. I feel like the second one has some cliches in there but the hashtag makes it cute. The last one is also so funny because you think its talking about a persons life and its this tweet that trying to be so thought provoking and meaningful and then you get to the hashtag and just start laughing...I needed that today so thanks! Great Job!!
I like that you have variation with these twitter poems. The first is sort of "mocking" the idea of a poem, but it ends abruptly as if to say "things are what they are. You don't have to read into everything." It took away the cheesiness that is evident in that style of a poem. It took me a second to understand the relationship between the hashtag caption and the poem of the second and third poems, but they really made me chuckle. A small critique would be to focus on avoiding abstractions. It will definitely make these poems more relatable and unique.
Nice work exploring the Twitter form for the poems. Like others, I had a hard time reading these with the tiny font, but I enjoyed some of these, especially the first one, very much.
The first one is a stand-out poem: maybe the funniest thing I've read from the class so far. I love the blunt ending, which is of course literally true. The literal truth in the place of where we usually see a trite metaphor about love makes this hilarious. But moreover, it also sounds almost zen-like in its directness and its undoing of figurative thought. The poem is not only funny; it's wiser than it seems to know. This adds to its charm.
The third poem I also liked. It's also funny, and the hashtag "cuts" in the haiku-like sense to render the poem in an entirely new direction, again taking figurative language and putting it in a literal context. "Brown bananas" is also a simple clear image that nearly everyone can relate to. The word "bananas" helps encourage readers to see the humor here and makes it more funny.
The second one I didn't get as well. The hashtag punchline didn't hit me like the others. Still, overall, some intriguing use of Twitter here.
