This Monday, March 21st, the fifth anniversary of the first tweet. The trend has caught on tremendously since then and now, people are using tweets as a creative outlet, rather than updating their every move or the latest celebrity gossip. With one message being limited to 140 characters, many are using it as a challenge. Writers, especially, have been having fun with this feature. One in particular is John Wray, who tweets as a character named Citizen, and a trend of posting a haiku, or "twaiku" has been a popular movement. Recently,Week in Review asked four poets were asked to write a poem in the 140 character bracket of the twitter message including the hashtag, #poetweet.
