This is my very first time participating in
The Poetry Marathon. I’m pumped! I’m psyched!
As you can probably tell, I am dutifully training
by writing down whatever comes to my mind
and stretching my imagination.
I wonder if there are any special nutrition bars for poets… Twix, maybe?
I’ll need someone to hand me something to drink every few miles… coffee maybe?
Do we get one of those bibs with our numbers on them?
I sure could use a bib sometimes when I drink coffee and eat Twix…
I am a very messy poet. I can’t wait. So I didn’t.
