==Definition==
A form of poetry using the 140 character limitation of [[Twitter]], with a four-line, AABB rhyme scheme, with at least one internal rhyme and some use of alliteration, written in one line with a forward-slash to indicate line breaks. Twitterku is a combination of [[Twitter]], the micro-blogging site, and  [[Haiku]], the traditional short-form Japanese poetry.

Intimately, beneath a digital moon, / fractal flowers, in full bloom / sway back and forth as one, / infinitely, dreaming of the analog sun. -K.I.A.

Two birds / throw a stone, / mocking man, / because they can, / because they can. #poetry #haiku -adobbs
