Sweetest sun-cup kisses of yellow
Make my happy heart flutter
Memories of fun childhood games
How much do you like butter?

The Kisses Twittles!

Woo hoo! They’re back!

I wrote the first kisses twittle — Kisses of Blue — just over a year ago. It was about dainty, blue forget-me-nots.

It set off a colourful whirlwind of kisses twittles written by me and fellow twittlers – Dr. Preeti Singh, Patrick M. Ohana and Era Garg. It was fun. 😊

Here’s a list of our kisses twittles, and here’s a longer list of our ever-growing, evergreen collection of twittles. ✨

A twittle is a four-line micropoem, preferably a quatrain, constructed with exactly 100 alphabet letters — non-alpha characters and spaces are not included in the character count. ✨
