At the time I was into Facebook and didn't really know much about Twitter, but I figured I'd give it a try. I signed up and started following some news and entertainment accounts. It took about six weeks for me to really "get" Twitter and understand that you need to be interactive with others and follow people in order to get the full Twitter experience.<br /><br />A few great things have happened since I joined Twitter. First, I have been able to meet and become friends with some fabulous people. There is a great group of women I have the pleasure of knowing. We laugh with each other - and sometimes at each other! We feel their pain when a loved one is sick or dies. We cheer for their child's accomplishments. We have shared personal stories. We are truly friends. We live in New York, Canada, Washington, DC, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Great Britain, Texas, New Jersey, Oregon, but the distance does not matter, because we all meet here on Twitter. Although, in a few months when a number of us meet in person, New York City may never be the same!<br /><br />In October 2009 I stumble across another group of amazing people on Twitter, writers of haiku, senryu and poetry, and I now consider them another group of friends, scattered throughout the world. An interesting facet of Twitter is that you can become friends with people you've never seen and don't even know their name. To me it actually doesn't matter because you get a sense of who they are by their tweets.<br /><br />After following these great poets for a bit, I decided to jump into the pool, so to speak, and started tweeting my own haiku and senryu. It has become an important creative and cathartic outlet for me, at what has been a difficult time in my life.<br /><br />Trying to explain Twitter to someone who has never used it can be difficult. It's a bit like narrowing down six degrees of separation by at least half. It's a way to meet people from all over this planet that we might otherwise never get the opportunity to meet. It can be a creative outlet. It can be a way to meet people who will be friends for life. For me Twitter is all of that and more.Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09569045889440292366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859143291176183471.post-11484916797137665552010-02-03T09:33:00.000-08:002010-03-02T19:48:52.093-08:00February 2010 Haiku/Senryu/PoetryFebruary 1:<br />Once adorned with his ~ love, she has been stripped naked, ~ love taken away.<br />(haiku challenge 'adorn')<br /><br />February 4:<br />Took up residence ~ in her heart, until the pain ~ was too strong to take<br />(haiku challenge 'residence')<br /><br />February 8:<br />When there is nothing ~ left to say does everything ~ before still exist?<br /><br />The well seems to be dry.<br />(six words)<br /><br />February 9:<br />Broken heart requires ~ time to heal and in the end ~ emerges stronger<br />(haiku challenge 'require')<br /><br />There is a place I ~ go in my dreams, hoping to ~ find you there one day<br /><br />February 10:<br />Red flash ~ cardinal hides ~ within tangled vines<br /><br />Animal tracks ~ in fresh snow ~ nature's art<br /><br />February 11:<br /><a id="status_star_8971114052" class="fav-action non-fav" title="favorite this tweet"></a><span class="status-body"><span class="actions"></span><span class="entry-content">Sudden shiver up ~ spine makes me wonder are you ~ thinking of me too?<br /><br /></span></span><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span> <span class="entry-content">Shall carry you in ~ my heart forever although ~ no more serenade<br />(haiku word game: forever/serenade/carry</span></span>)<br /><br />February 16:<br /><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span><span class="entry-content">Do not look elsewhere ~ when all the strength you need is ~ right inside of you. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />(haiku challenge </span>'elsewhere'</span></span>)<br /><br />February 24:<br /><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span><span class="entry-content">Snow on birdhouse ~ favorite ~ backyard scene</span></span><br /><br />February 26:<br /><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span><span class="entry-content">Squirrels jumping ~ from branch to branch ~ nature's acrobats<br /><br /></span></span><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span><span class="entry-content">Wind rushing through pines ~ and thoughts of you conspire ~ to keep me awake<br /><br /></span></span><span class="status-body"><span class="actions"></span><span class="entry-content">Never expected ~ these life turns but she is still ~ hopeful nonetheless<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">(senryu party </span>'never'</span>)<br /><br /></span><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span> <span class="entry-content">Love the mountains and ~ lakes, but miss the smell, sound of ~ the Atlantic coast<br /><a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23senryuparty" title="#senryuparty" class="tweet-url hashtag" rel="nofollow">(senryu party</a> 'coast')</span> </span><br /><br /><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span> <span class="entry-content">Heart shatters ~ like glass ~ if not careful<br /><a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23senryuparty" title="#senryuparty" class="tweet-url hashtag" rel="nofollow">(senryu party</a> 'glass')</span></span><br /><br />February 27:<br /><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span><span class="entry-content">Soft sweet ~ slips through silk ~ so succulent </span></span><br /><br /><span class="status-body"> <span class="actions"></span> <span class="entry-content">Freckles splashed across ~ cheeks of the most beautiful ~ face I've ever seen.

The book details her separation and divorce after a long marriage and two children. As someone currently going through a divorce I can relate to a lot of what she wrote, especially her description of the 'stages' she went through after separating. This is a good read for any woman going through a separation and divorce.Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09569045889440292366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859143291176183471.post-65926863857658500092010-01-11T19:45:00.000-08:002010-01-11T20:06:38.200-08:00Book One: "The Middle Place" by Kelly Corrigan"The Middle Place" by Kelly Corrigan is a true story, or stories. Kelly is in her late 30s, a Mom to two young girls, when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. She is close to her family, most especially her father, Greenie, who is diagnosed with bladder cancer. She describes her point in life as "the middle place" - where you are a parent, teaching and praising your own children, but also calling your parents to tell them of your latest accomplishments, and receiving praise from them.<br /><br />The book goes back and forth from the present time when she is going through chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, and different times in her life - childhood, young adulthood, pregnancies.<br /><br />It is a quick read and will probably make you think about your relationships with parents, siblings, spouses, children and friends.<br /><br />(My goal in these posts is not to "review" each book. What I like another person may hate, and vice versa. I'm just keeping a running lists of books as I read them and maybe some of them will interest someone else.)Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09569045889440292366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859143291176183471.post-73667094361574832982010-01-03T15:45:00.000-08:002010-02-03T09:33:24.253-08:00January 2010 Haiku/Senryu/PoetryJanuary 1, 2010:<br />The image in her ~ mind was just a dream, she puts ~ it away, moves on.<br /><br />Laughter, happiness, ~ life is more fun seen through the ~ eyes of a child.<br /><br />January 3:<br />Picking up pieces ~ of her broken heart, moving ~ forward much stronger.<br /><br />January 5:<br />Flow with me, let's just ~ be together, two become ~ one, the world can wait.<br /><br />January 6:<br />Sometimes you just need to cry.
