The ‘twittersonnet’ is a form supposedly devised by Rene Van
Valckenborch (actually, he devised the ‘twitterode’ first) and there are 100 of
them in A Translated Man (see here and
randomly here). These are all on display on Twitter. There is another in my forthcoming Pet 3. Here’s one that I may be dropping from that sequence (sorry
Kylie):
