24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
You say I have a bad attitude
But honey you the one with an ill mouth
You say I am selfish
But you’re the one with an issue of sharing
Bad attitude, Intolarent
All the things said about me
In the end its who people couldn’t stand
NO one is perfect
I ain’t a saint
In the end its me who have people beside me
A thought she’ll write from down below, and out. Feelings heartfelt heartly to make her hairs to stand up. With something extraordinary and special. Where this will help her to do even better. Writing has always been a thing a two. Allowing her to rewrite those themes to pass time away. With a roaring thunder of lights.
My name is Rosa Lee Lester-Ranson. Writing has really been my passion since my childhood, and now. To help inspirer and uplift the broken hearts with hope. To cheer them on and into happiness. Just loving what I do. In a run of a day. And with a peace of mind. To give on back with joy.
When joy comes in the morning. With tide tears knowing that I have help many others. In a niche of time. To fill me right on up. Where my well will never runs dry.
God bless you all. To do well writing in this project to share of yours and my expertises for a cause.😇💯🌹🌹🌹
Hi. I am Prachi Shah and this is my second full marathon. I had a blast with the first one and also got to read amazing poems from people around the world. I am geared up with my cup of coffee, my diary and my pen and have also locked up my daughter and husband in one room :P. Let’s Do This!
Apparently, this year’s half-marathon (I never do the full marathon, because I like sleep) will take place during a heatwave. If today was any indication, tomorrow will be quite toasty indeed. Makes me glad I had an air conditioner (excuse me—”ductless heat pump”) installed about a year and a half ago.
This will be my fifth time participating. Much like last year, I have continued to have difficulty writing; instead, I have had much better luck with music (https://tintymusic.bandcamp.com/). Whatever anyone thinks of the sounds, many of the titles I have come up with have been miles better than most of my attempts at new poems. For this reason, I am glad to have this year’s half-marathon (did I mention that I like sleep?) to present a challenge.
With that, I set the timer on my air conditioner (did I mention that I like sleep) and get ready for bed. Six o’clock comes early.

Good day/night to you all!
You may call me Molly, I have participated in every poetry marathon since 2016 and am thrilled to participate again though I truly fear failing this year due to low energy levels every day leading up to it.
If I am lucky hopefully that’s been my body storing up energy until the day of and I will complete another full Marathon. A lot has happened since last year but I hope we all make it!
This is a test.
Hey! I am Ananya Panwar, a fellow challenger for the half poetry marathon 2021.
Writing and reading are my hobbies, not necessarily in that order.
Hope to have a lot of fun and exercise my creative muse.
Lastly, I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
Hello fellow Marathoners,
This is my first poetry marathon and I am doing the 12 in 12. I live in Rockville, MD so will be in the same time zone as Cailin and Jacob Jans.
I am relatively new at writing and took courses/workshops run by Authors Publish which has been a great help in discovering the unknown world of writing and publishing. I just had my first short story and first poetry published earlier this month. So June has been a great literary month for me! Looking forward to reading all the poetry that this marathon will produce.
Good luck!

Hi Everyone!
My name is Siobhan and I am a marathoner from Canada. I love poetry as it is my solace, strength, refuge, passion and privilege. I am a devoted single Mom to a wonderful daughter as well as a pet Mom to a delightful dog, a happy hamster and fabulous fish! I am honored and thrilled to be able to sit and write with you all tomorrow but also to walk through the open door of your art. I am so grateful! Have a blast Everyone!
I’ve just returned from my family’s vacation in Estes Park and I am getting ready to write poetry tomorrow. I participated last year and I am ready to accept the half-marathon challenge in 2021. I feel like life lived in the past year will be more than enough fodder to create moving poems in this marathon. I guess we shall see where inspiration will strike.
I am an English teacher (AP Literature, Creative Writing, and Junior English) with 25 years of experience! My sons are grown. One is a 1st Lt. in the Marines and my 19-year-old started his own arborist business after graduating high school in 2020. My husband and I have been married for 28 years this summer.
I have a goal this year of reading 100 books and I’ve currently read 59. I am 12 books ahead of schedule according to Goodreads. Last year I read 76. I know I will never read all of the books but I am sure enjoying trying.
I wish everyone just the right words to say what you feel! Happy writing!
