First I #poetweet Owl,
my Left-hand Guardian
connecting me to the dark,
penetrating mystery
with clear incisive sight
an advantage for #poetry
My Right-hand Guardian is Serpent
for Cunning (Owl's Wisdom)
giving day/action streetsmarts and
the Healing I want in my #poetweet #poetry
Last, Great Mother Spider
childhood terror / lifelong totem.
Protector. And Weaver
good for a maker of #poetry,
good for a maker of #poetry,
blessing my every #poetweet

[And a further note just for readers of this blog – the hashtags have to be within the 140 characters, so for this exercise I needed to include them in each tweet. Because, yes, I have tweeted all of the above, including Title and Note. But not this bit.]

Oh I so love how you combined the totem with the hashtag... One tweet per totem, love the spider one,
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely delicious writing, Rosemary :D and yes I too love the spider at the end.
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Sanaa
love the spider one too, weaving and making it home...
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool. I like poems written in the form of tweets. :-)
ReplyDelete-HA
I admire each poetweet Rosemary. This is so cool, smiles :-)
ReplyDeleteLuv your Owl totem Rosemary bestbof the lot
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
This brought me a smile, so thank you for that, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Rosemary!! I think this is a wonderful way to express each of these totems...they carry a compact magic...I can't pick a favorite although I love the weaving quality of the spider...each of these spirits are ones that I've been drawn to at one time or another in my life...interesting! Thank you, for writing!
ReplyDeleteGrand Mother Spider is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to become a better twitter (twitterer?). I'm so bad at it. Really.
'Tweeter', I think. I am not very good at interacting with others there. Who has the time?
DeleteThe inclusion of hash tags makes these even have the appearance of tweets. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThey are tweets! (As well as appearing here.)
DeleteWow! You know how to tweet. I have no clue, plus I don't have a cellphone.......which I assume one needs to tweet? I love your totems, especially Owl of course, but also Great Mother Spider who helps you weave your words with such finesse. Loved this, Rosemary. I am late getting around, had a hectic day yesterday. ( My friend wryly asks, "How can you tell?" LOL.)
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't need a phone, only a computer! :)
DeleteEfficient use of Tweet characters. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe pieces are earthy and mysterious.
Love your totems. Are you aware of the artist Louise Bourgeois? She made enormous sculptural spiders and called them Great Mother.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! :)
DeleteWonderful Rosemary! I like spiders very much so many are afraid or think they're gross but they are beautiful creatures. I will have to look you up on Twitter. I'm on it too.
ReplyDeleteI agree they are beautiful, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how many here have commented favourably on my Spider verse. I'm @SnakyPoet on twitter, but I really only use it to tweet links to my poems or to petitions for good causes. I much prefer good old frivolous facebook!
DeleteSome people can turn squeamish on seeing a little wriggly but they can be just as attractive to some others.
ReplyDeleteHank
I especially love Owls and how cool that your childhood terror became your protector Mother Spider. These are great, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteSuper sexy. :)
