Who knew Bloomberg was so deep? To celebrate "Poem in Your Pocket" day on April 29th, Bloomberg is hosting a Twitter poetry contest. To enter, just write out a 140 character poem and tag it @NYCMayorsOffice. Bloomberg will pick his favorites, which will be printed in Metro New York next Thursday. Bloomberg went first: "Don’t worry if your poem is a terrible mess/As long as it’s 140 characters or less!" How about, "Bloomberg tweets with grace and ease / Cause he doesn't care about the economies!" Here we come, Metro New York!
