The idea is to use up the 140 characters to promote political activism,
for example, against Obama's trade deals that would give SOVEREIGN power
to corporations; corporations are NOT people or nations, my friend.
Learn more about it here[hufpost].
Further reading[hufpost]

these are tweets; I like to call these types of tweets "unfortunate" tweets.
the original "unfortunate tweet" idea is to libel and twist someone else's words.
these unfortunate tweets are actually not unfortunate because I libeled but because they're true:
they're (hopefully) archived here

Obama's EU trade deal
includes SOVEREIGN POWERS
for corporations

like the Trade Federation

to the huffpost website. tweet is unchanged as it fills all 140 characters.

arbitrary governments expose
disingenuous systems among

Obama would grant corporations power
to pass and enforce laws

I am by no means trying to offend you- I'm only curious- but how exactly have you made this poetry, and not just a collage of tweets, and minor notes of how your pictures aren't working? I'm all for expressionism. I just think it better for the expressionist to explain what they've done so that readers can find the separation between nothing and something

i wasn't offended; i just answered your question.

it's not just a tweet; it's a libel. these tweets are distorted truths from their source material.

an unfortunate tweet is like an unconventional poetic form. the rules are: write 140 characters using only words found in another article or paragraph.

so for example here's an unfortunate tweet from your statement above:

TaliaDelune

by no means only curious--but exact--poetry tweets
minor notes of expressionism.
think better of how readers can find
something from nothing

that is exactly 140 characters long (and i can prove it as i have tweeted it here) and it was copied from your very own words, except i tweaked them to say something that you didn't actually say. this isn't as easy as you'd think because i have to use the same words, mostly in the same order as they appear in the source material, to create something new, without the permission of the author, and never going under or over the 140 character limit.

thus, the unfortunate tweet. does that adequately answer your question?

Yes it does. Thank you for taking the time to explain, and I must say.... Freaking interesting... Never heard of that before.

Well you've certainly made your position very clear which is the general point, isn't it? I would like to read more if you have them, and are willing to share.

they're all archived here;
some are pretty good but some are just forced pieces that fell apart from what i wanted to do.
unfortunately, i don't have the source material for every tweet so i can never look back to fix my mistakes.
instead, i just make new, (and hopefully) better unfortunate tweets.
