Hi, everyone! I am honored to participate in the poetry marathon. I feel a bit breathless as I imagine what it will feel like to produce one poem each hour for 24 hours. I know it is a challenge and a feat to complete such a marathon, and I am looking forward to doing it myself! Once the marathon is over, I will have twenty-four lovely (or messy) poems. I write poetry regularly, and I know this is an opportunity to strengthen my skills.

I am most excited to see what I unearth within myself. Each poem I write is a doorway to a piece of my soul, and I feel I will go to a place where I have yet to visit within my self.

 

Best luck to all participants!
