24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Hey, name’s Callan, I’m a student in Liverpool, UK, but currently at my parents’ home in the East Midlands. I like poetry. I like science. I like plants. I’ve got this magazine thing in the works (www.facebook.com/independentvariablemag) with the idea of bringing poets and scientists together by combining the two disciplines, which should be fun. I guess I’m going to try and represent that a bit with some science-themed poetry (always fun! try it).
Good luck to everyone 🙂
On the day before today they asked me to reply tomorrow. They asked who I was was and whether I felt sorrow.
I answered very succintly, I’m 19, my skin is colored pinkly. There’s not much else to say as of yet, I’m just in this for the full burst and out of it I’d feel as though I was cursed. I live to write, I write so I might read, and I read to live my life fully.
I’m participating in the full marathon and I have very little to say about my self which is unable to be written. I look forward to this and hope my sunburn doesn’t kill me.
I’m not terribly important except the things that emerge around me are. I have no simple way of telling anyone who I am so I just list the most important things I can think of:
My husband is a Cuban artist and we walk 4 to 5 miles every other day.
I am a cancer person, not sure if I’m a survivor yet.
I have two cats but don’t call me the cat lady.
I have a grandson and also a granddaughter on the way. The mother doesn’t like me much.
I have written on and off for years, not just poetry.
Cigs were my best friends but obviously I cant smoke anymore.
Well that’s about it, not very exciting I know.
Hi All! Can’t believe an entire year has passed since the 2015 Marathon!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Marathon 2016! Cannot wait to begin!

The late night hours. Oh boy. The word, intense, comes to mind. This will be interesting.
Hi, Everyone,
I’m making sure I know how everything works, posting-wise before the start of the marathon. I think I’ve got this!
Best,
Virginia Galfo
I am so excited to do this marathon! It is going to be amazing 🙂 My name is Cheryl and I am from Michigan. I will be working bar tending Saturday so this should be awesomely intense and fun!
Ello, name’s Myania and i’m a newbie at the Poetry Marathon challenge! Only doing the half marathon just to test it and if i’m liking it (there’s no doubt I will…) I’ll be here next year full throttle.
They said talk about how to prepare for this super hard challenge so, I’m just gonna breathe, make sure my brain is full of ideas, my watch is locked on my wrist and do what I can. stressing out over your talent makes it harder to create (it’s a very easy for me to do) so i’m not gonna apply no pressure to whether or not my stuff is good or whether or not I have any ideas left. I’m just gonna have fun for once and CHILL.
‘listen to some music and write’ is the motto for Saturday. hope everyone else has fun with this challenge too, and remember: CCCHHHIIILLLL.
By the way, I did not see how to sign up for the half marathon or even to say that is the one I am doing.
Can you tell me how to do that? Sorry for the extra questions
Joanie
