It was a day

Like many days past.

Up, showered and dressed

Tasty cereal down the hatch.

It’s Saturday, fun day

No work, only play

But this day, this Saturday

Is Poetry Marathon Day!

Getting started for some

Can start out a bit slow

I too feel a bit nervous

But I’m ready, here I go.

Prompt number one

I might savor a bit.

40 minutes have passed

And this poem is……….shit!

But I know, words will flow

Once I settle in

Slow starts are ok

So I’ll begin to begin.

I feel like a pianist

Warming up playing scales

Time to play or to say

Be it verse, song or tales.

And throughout this day

I’ll share myself, heart and soul

12 different poems

Deep breath, here I go.
