The Plurk Poem
Quite recently I got invited to Plurk…. this poem is dedicated to Plurk and Plurkers….
The Plurk Poem
I never was on Twitter
although I heard the odd word…
I didn’t feel like talking to twits
and I have a phobia of birds
But one day I got an invite
to join a friend in Plurkdom
No twittering feathered friends here
just a monster with a bone for a bum
I wasn’t too sure at first
if I really wanted to plurk
so for the first few days
I didn’t do much except lurk
Plurking can be confusing
especially with a brain like mine
I am never sure whether it’s morning or night
or where I am at on my timeline
On Plurk they pay you in karma
it really can be a bind
in fear of losing this stuff
you forfeit life of the other kind
It soon becomes quite addictive
once you start to follow
yesterday runs into today
and some of us plurk in tomorrow
I began to look for Plurkers
with whom I had stuff to share
Olive oil, photography, poetry
the love of my life could be there!
I found a photographer and a poet
and guys who make mouthwatering food
Lots of delicious links are shared
and occasionally something rude!
There are photo’s of beautiful places
and the yummiest chocolate cake
the techies and bloggers rub noses
with knitters and gamers and rakes
You meet interesting people on Plurk
the wonderful and weird are all here
There’s Oscar and Dylan and Charlie Brown
and even William Shakespeare
So if you need some added spice in life
or just an ear to bend
Come dwell for a while in Plurkville
I may even make you my friend…!

This is a really good poem. I love reading poetry and writing it. Lately I’ve been posting a lot of poems on http://www.unitedworldpoets.com. The site is running a free poetry contest this month that has a cash prize I’m hoping to win.

I love the way you compared the ease of using Plurk with Twitter… thanks for sharing your insights.

woah~! this is the sign of being addict plurker LOL~ grats you’ve got a hit~!
It seemed that winterchild also got the “poison” from Plurkland already. I and my plurk friends had been trying our best to quit the “drug”, but never and no one succeed so far ~ ha! ha!
haha.. that’s a really good one..
but i think there are many plurkers who are also twitters…
however, plurk rocks more!! =)
really is addicting, the plurking. can you compose a song about plurking too? it might be better with a tune.
haha really captures the Plurk atmosphere! Lovely poem!
