I write traditional poetry (including sonnets, posted here) but I am also experimenting in the medium of Twitter Poems (poems exactly one tweet - 140 characters - long or poems composed entirely of verses 140 characters long) . My themes revolve around music and nature and I publish the poems on my Twitter page at http: //twitter.com/McElderryPoems.
Sometimes a whisper hits you louder than a thunderclap
When he first says I love you softly in your ear
Everything that happens, happens here
And there’s no world outside his quiet embrace.
...
If you love someone
Then you trust him with your life
When you look into his eyes
‘Cos if he lets you fall
...
In the springtime, when the world was new,
We sat beneath the tree and heard it sing
And in the morning drank the dew
From its upturned petals,
...
I climbed up to the roof of the world
Breathing hard and banging my toes
On the rocks and stones of the winding path;
Hard, hard, hard was the climb to the summit
...
Found you sitting there at the edge of the world
Looking out into that dark and lonely space
Of broken hearts and shattered dreams
Tried to look into your eyes
...
