The Poetry Marathon

First post–testing

Ok, is this the way I am supposed to enter my poems on Sunday? A little confused about the technical issues–nothing new–I am far from a techie! Even your seemingly easy instructions are a bit of a mystery to me–I could not find the log-in and had to go to the url for admin to post this and to update profile.

Is there anything else I should know before Sunday?

Thanks

Adventure in the Great Wide Somewhere

I can’t wait for the Poetry Marathon! This will be my very first year and I figured what better way to start than jumping into the 24 hour deep end. I have four children, the youngest just shy of three years who doesn’t yet have an affinity for all night sleeping. I’m a left-handed life-long southern girl (U.S.), so some might say I’m doubly backwards. I love to sniff books, and grew up in a print shop my dad owned. There’s nothing like the smell of fresh ink!

Introduction

Howdy. I’ve got a full day Saturday. But I will be posting something every hour. The idea is to have a snapshot of all 24 hours of that day. This is certainly the most ambitious day of writing I have ever agreed to participate in. I’m hopeful that it will go well.

Proud GrandMom

I am a proud GrandMom of 3, a beautiful granddotty in the name of Xandra and 2 mischievous little boys, Nathan and Franco. My son Carlo gave me my Xandra and Penny, my daughter, Nathan and Franco. Presently I’m still working as Executive Assistant to the President in a small private family corporation.  My ardent wish is to be a legitimate verser or a poet. And my wish will come to fruition thru the help of The Poetry Marathon. I am excited to start the ball rolling. I am a proud citizen of the Republic of the Philippines. My retirement is nearing and I’m planning to go full blast writing verses and poems. So help me God. Keeping my fingers, legs, eyes, crossed.

She stepped in

And eve was restored

Is this working? I’d like some feedback.

Hello,

I feel I don’t really know what I’m doing. I see a lot of posts on The Poetry Marathon Facebook Page, and they also show up on my Facebook stuff, but can’t understand how that happens. I just want to make sure I’m ready for Saturday.

So,I just wanted to wish everyone all the best…. May the force be with you 😀

12 Hour Marathon

Hi! My name is Kaci and I will be participating in the half marathon. I have never written consistently for more than three hours straight, but I have so many ideas flowing out of me all the time that I know I will be able to come up with some great material. I love the idea of the marathon so I was excited when I heard about it. I am looking forward to it and anxious to see what I can conjure up!
