There's a genre in Latin American literature (probably other literatures too, but I can't be bothered with them) called the micro-cuento. They're very short stories, sometimes just a sentence, that wander between poetry and narrative.
I assume that they're difficult to write, I'm sure I couldn't without it coming out like the product of an unholy union of a haiku and a limerick.
So I thought I could micro-blog, though probably (hopefully) not for the same reasons artists write micro-cuentos. The prospect of writing a longer blog makes me tired, it's significantly easier just to provide pasty gems that stop shortly before (or after) the idea runs out.
