Social Networking and Silly Poetry

It was in June of last year that I attended the American Library Association conference in Washington D.C. when I first heard about all the 2.0 connectedness that has so absorbed me since that time. Anyway, here I am in April of the following year sharing two silly poems that I wrote as part of a weather word of the week contest on New England Cable News. Matt Noyes, the weatherman, has read both entries on the air:

Here's the poem for the weather word "befog" to be read as a rap poem or sung as a rap song.

Be fair or foul, I don’t want guessin’
Reckon I should tune in NECN
Where Matt he tells us what’s to be
I know the Noyes man won’t befog me


Here's the poem for the weather word of the week: "presentiment"

Mackerel sky and wispy clouds
Moving low and swift
These are my presentiments
Of barometric shift.

Wow, nice poetry. I'm much better with prose, myself. Unless it's texting updates on Twitter. :)
