The Bard of Barnsley @IMcMillan

June 13, 2013 — 144, @IMcMillan, Bard of Barnsley, early, gross, Ian McMillan, morning, poet, stroll

British poet Ian McMillan – aka The Bard of Barnsley – tweets every morning, mostly about his early morning stroll @IMcMillan. It’s amazing what you can say in just 144 characters. Things like…..

“Pull another morning from your almost endless box of mornings. Almost endless, but not quite. Don’t think about that. Just take the morning”.

A poem in 144 characters. Under the old UK system of weights and measures 144 was a ‘gross’. So that would be a gross poem, but apparently that’s not a complement in the US.

Have a curious day.
