Introduction
Hi, y’all! I’m Angel from Oklahoma, and this is my second year doing the full marathon. Those last few hours were a struggle, so here’s hoping they are a bit easier this year. Good luck to everyone! May the muses inspire your journey.
1. The Writer
The alarm screeching .
I wake up with my heart thumping
like a drum beating,
soaring in nervous anticipation.
The moon in the dark, desolate sky is bright.
It’s beauty, an inspirational sight.
My mind and heart in excitement is burning alight.
Whilst everyone else is asleep in calm, sweet repose.
Like a guitar, the keyboard, I lovingly strum.
It’s clatter, like a beating drum.
Words appear, as elegant dancers on my monitor as I rhythmically hum.
In excitement, solitude and peace of mind, I am writing, I am writing.
I am writing.
Introduction
Hi Everyone,
My name is Jessica Brynarsky and this is my very first time in participating in the Poetry Marathon. I am quite excited about it and nervous all at once. But I believe that this will help me to finally do some heavy writing. Setting aside time and some quite space is going to be extremely helpful for me. I have several fruits on hand, some protein bars and protein shakes available and my writing desk cleared off of distractions. I have warned several family members & friends that I am going to be unavailable to them for a full day. I have a couple of my own word prompts at the ready and I’ll be writing my stuff via pen and paper and then posting later and sometimes typing on my laptop. Good luck everyone. Here goes everything…
the mediocre poet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Writing from the West Coast in the half marathon tomorrow morning. Warning: game will be rusty. But I’m looking forward to showcasing my mediocre poetry!
The Poetry Marathon is almost here!
Hello from Florida!
I wish everyone GOOD inspiration for this event. Have fun!

First Post: This is only a Test
Hello, I love you—won’t you tell me your name?
My code name is JohnnyG, and I’m doing the 1/2 Poetry marathon starting tomorrow at 6 am West Coast Time!
Hello, lovely poet people
SO looking forward to this year’s marathon, perhaps even more than the last two because writing time has been difficult to carve out lately. I’m buzzing and bursting with words that need a home, and tomorrow is the day I hope they find it. Much love to my Some Poets family that are participating, and to everyone else accepting this sustaining challenge as well!

Testing the Waters
Hello! I’m Maya from Northern Colorado. This is my first time participating and I am going to be in the Morning Half Marathon group. I mostly write fiction, but have always kept a few poems going here and there and occasionally get to my town’s Poetry Slam although everyone is very kind and so there isn’t much “slam” and rather just lots of support. I hope to get a good performance stash going from the results of this challenge.
