A twiglet’s aim is to “prompt” a thought. If something comes to mind, write. A polished piece isn’t the goal; creativity is. Leave a link, if you’d like your work read, but comments should not be expected.
don’t you take any rustling guff
from the snicker-bush
about your old gardening shoes,
or the hedge’s snide asides on
your tatty underwear,
just snap those shears a time or two
and they’ll shut right up.
The Twiglets 
Maple
puts a leaf to her mouth to whisper.
The only movement in the universe,
and you once peed on her knee.
