We are all a bit poets

"Embroidery is also poetry and everyone in the world is a bit of a poet," Luis Landero wrote in

.

Perhaps today, on the networks, some users have a Faroni complex and live a reality in which they are successful poets in their profiles.

And it is that there are times, not many, that Twitter is filled with pleasant content.

It happens, above all, on world days, for example, on World Poetry Day.

It was held on March 21 and, that day, this network was filled with the verses of Idea Villariño, Federico García Lorca or Ida Vitale, among others.

Users shared those texts that make one stop and reflect on what they have just read.

But poetry is shared on Twitter every day, with or without words.

“Poetry is everywhere.

You just have to see it," journalist María Jesús Güemes tweeted after ordering two glasses of water in a cafeteria and the waiter reacted with: "Marching two cloud juices."

Among the answers, they commented on other ways of calling water: one spoke of "angel tears", and another user added that in Venezuela water was "tube juice".

I order two glasses of water.

Waiter: "Marching two cloud juices."

Poetry is everywhere.

You just have to see it.

Who spread poetry on this social network, and a lot, was the publisher Belén Bermejo, who died two years ago.

Her last thread posted of hers is a poem in two parts.

He found it on one of his walks, released on June 20 at 1:58 p.m.: "They say there will be a storm at six", a phrase that was accompanied by an image of a blue sky that was almost hidden between the tree branches that closed as if they were clouds.

At 9:02 p.m. she published the end of the poem: “(There was no storm)”.

(There was no storm).

Because poetry is not writing phrases that rhyme or with many periods and apart, although some believe it that way, and poetry is not —exclusively— the verses of Bécquer and Garcilaso.

The lyric is not only in the poems and, luckily, not in the messages of the #poetuit tag either.

If we go to the

, poetry is: "Manifestation of beauty or aesthetic feeling through words, in verse or prose."

In another meaning, it indicates that it can be manifested or not through language.

Thus, Angelina's embroideries, Landero's character, what Güemes heard, what Bermejo published in his account and everything that evokes a feeling —positive or negative— and has a sense or an aesthetic line, can be considered poetry.

Even a report!

A few months ago, user Martin Hadis (@martinhadis) captioned a video by Kevin Killen about the winter weather highlighting its “perhaps unintended literary quality”.

The account @literlandweb1 wrote about the same video: “Can information, poetry and existentialism be combined?

It can".

And is poetry the graffiti “If you like it, you can mess around”?

It's like a verse.

A direct message that makes the recipient think or act.

The graffiti became a meme, a WhatsApp

and a resource image to use when you want to settle something between friends.

He even spent a few days on the advertising canvas of a Netflix movie placed in a building in Puerta del Sol in Madrid.

They will agree with Modesto García (@modesto_garcia) in that the graffiti artist, to say the least, would freak out seeing himself there.

The graffiti artist who did this will be freaking out.

Although we are all a little poets, or we can be, there is no doubt that poetry is what Luis García Montero, Luna Miguel or Karmelo C. Iribarren share almost daily in their profiles, precisely the latter dedicated a few days ago a poem to the tweeters and their desire to write.

In conclusion, let's leave poetry to the poets and buy their works.

By the way, tomorrow is Book Day: we read each other on Twitter.

TO A TWITTER

You don't

have to say

the first thing that comes to mind.

You can perfectly well say nothing.

Even if it seems

impossible:

the world

is not waiting for

your words.
