Veiled verses
emotions at play
a silent echo
that words betray

Hidden whispers
deep meanings cast
cryptic lines
deep truth amassed

Unnamed
yet known to keen-eyed few
A subtweet has a tale
only if you know

A subtle view — or — a subliminal truth!

Thank you to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for the prompt: if a subtweet was a poem and for considering this response for her publication. When I saw this question, I wondered about subtweeting. Briefly — a subtweet is when you talk about someone or something without actually saying their name on social platforms like Twitter. It’s a way for people to share their thoughts without directly mentioning who or what they’re talking about. So, dear reader, I hope there are no hidden messages about my appreciation for your time and support — some people truly understand how to be supportive. 😉

Thank you for reading!
