The Poetry Marathon

Here, back again

I can’t believe it’s time for the 2016 marathon already. And at the same time, I can’t wait for it to start. Last year has provided me with a much needed and much missed sense of deadline urgency, as I was having withdrawal after graduation.

This year I’ve only signed up for half the marathon, because I’m a hardcore basketball fan and intend to watch all of the Olympic games. Must have some sleep between those, too! So don’t be surprised if some of my poems come out basketball-themed. I will do my best to produce more than 12, though, I just didn’t want to sign up for more than I know I can manage.

That being said, last year sparked some great ideas and resulted in some really good poems that I loved (and I’m my own worst critic!). I really wouldn’t mind the marathon happening at least twice a year.

Test post.

i am using the word press app and I’d like to know if my post went through and is visible.

thank you!

Technically challenged

Just testing this thing-a-ma-bob to confirm that I remember how to post poems when the time comes. Greetings and Aloha to one and all…

So excited

This is my first marathon, and I’m excited to read others work as well as post my own 😀

Nice to meet you 

I hope everyone is feeling the exciment or I may in fact be a super dork. Either way yay!!!! 

A new adventure

This is my first poetry half marathon. I’m excited for this opportunity to challenge myself to write more, and more often, and on-demand. I look forward to reading everyone’s poems!

Well, this is awkward!

Here I am wondering why did I put this pressure on myself?  I haven’t written any new poetry in a while now and I’m feeling rusty, guess this will loosen up the brain fog.  Actually excited to see if I can finish this in spite of all the other things I cram into my schedule and don’t accomplish.  Need some new fired-up inspiration and I can’t wait to see what comes out of this.  Sending good vibes to all of you!

Introductions

Testing to see if I’m doing this right.  I live in a very small town and I am married to a farmer.  I love strong adjectives, sweet southern ways, large porches, clouds, dirt roads, old dogs, trees, and barns.
