The Poetry Marathon

At sea and at bay, we sit and we stay

We pull out our line and hook the bait, we open the cooler and we sit and we wait

A simple pull on the line would make us aware that the fish are biting instead of just browsing what’s there

A slight little jiggle in the line makes us jump, we reel it in hoping it’s not a stump

Another hopeful moment but not what we thought, so we cast the line askew and try to find something to brag about being caught

The day grows darker and we must pull in, after all fishing is patience and we don’t always win

We will come back to the same place next week hoping to catch something worthwhile, that we are willing to keep

Goodnight Fish

We made a plan to escape and we are on our way to Treasure Island but not for the treasure

We’ve come for the serenity, the peace of mind and the thought that we have nothing to look for just some place to be without a reason to be

Here we are we and we are not them. We are not bound by the to do’s or the responsibilities of a modern world. Here we do not require knowing the time, the place or the next move

Here we can dance under the soft moonlight after hours into the early morning. We can drift away sending our thoughts into the sea, sending our love into the air, keeping this moment to ourselves

Treasure Island is a place everyone knows but a place where nobody stays. Most of us come looking for treasure, leaving empty handed not knowing the gifts are here in your hands, in this moment

Should you find yourself here by chance one day on this island of treasure, stop looking and you will find what you came for

Why must our words rhyme all of the time

It’s too early to rhyme all the time

Sipping my coffee

Putting away my wine

Kicking my feet up because this is “ME” time.

My eyes are sleepy but my body is awake

right after this cup is finished I should feel great!

The day is ahead and yesterdays gone.

I guess my life rhymes and this is my morning song

Hi everyone. This is my first marathon and I am so happy to have stumbled across it. I am looking forward to the 12 hours of spilling my words in between my mom duties and work. I cannot wait to see what is on everyone’s mind. I love a challenge and even more so when it’s a hobby, this should be fun!
