I’ve joined a poetry marathon for the first time in my writing life.

Its really quite the challenge and it gives me little time to perfect my poetry the way I’d like.

I’ve written haiku’s, sonnets and epics and elegy’s by and by. I’ve written lyric poetry, but at this time I’m just trying to get by.

I’ve published my own books of poetry which included villanelles, some prose poetry as well as pantoums, several ballads and narratives.

But, now in this marathon I’m having such a time ‘cause there’s little time to get my poems together to make them more refined.

I must think quick for a subject to expound and I’m trying to keep positive. I’ve written ode’s and sestinas with plenty of time to proof.

Even so, I’m loving the challenge mainly because I’m big on rest. I know I will make it through right along with the rest of youse and then we’ll celebrate.

 

Good luck marathoners in  this 11th hour
