24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Just wanted to introduce myself to you all. I am a fifty-odd year-old Creative Writing major and this is my first attempt at a poetry marathon. I hope that all of you get some inspiration from this challenge. May the words flow, and in the right order!
Hello fellow marathoners! I’m just a girl who is obsessed with words and is a huge believer in the power that they hold. I have a weakness for reading aloud and tasting the words on my tongue. I love to sing, do yoga, and be spontaneous. Poetry is my passion.
I don’t think that poetry should have a clear meaning or explanation. I think you should work to find your own interpretation of all art but that if the art touches something inside of you, then it means something. I’m a little bit literal minded sometimes, but I’m also very poetic, and so here I am, going to work on the purely poetic side of things. I’m excited for this unique challenge and ready to see how much my writing and I grow from it.
Happy Poem Writing!
Greetings Fellow Poets, Writers and Dreamers,
And here it is, my third Poetry Marathon. What is it about the number three that lures us in? In literature, in fairy tales, in mythology, in science, and in religion; the number three, shows up again and again, and again. It holds us tight, fast, steady. Signaling adventure, mystery, and unforgettable experiences. And so it shall be in my third Poetry Marathon. As I embark on my third year in California, I realized the Poetry Marathon has become a welcome journey for creative expression, wayward writing, and a little bit of magic. I am now going to go enjoy my third cup of coffee. Welcome all! ♥
My name is Ingrid Exner and I have had the privilege to have done a poetry marathon back in 2014. This is a great opportunity to meet and share poetry with people from all over the world. I have been writing free verse and other forms of poetry off and on since I was a teenager. I went to school for professional writing and worked several years in technical, professional writing and social services. I look forward to creating poetry and offering good constructive feedback any way I can! Now, on to a short poem…giving myself only minutes as this is just a precursor challenge to the real challenge of the marathon. My name is that of a warrior and my choice is warrior queen…dictating rhyming couplets…the best you’ve ever seen. Alliterating beginnings, assonancing (sp?) mid through, my syntax skills will yet, bedazzle you! I can’t wait to “meet” you all in August! Happy writing!
a quick hello to everyone. this is my first marathon and i am excited to be joining you in this event. currently working on my mfa creative writing at mississippi university for women while living in north carolina. since i am not taking classes this summer, the marathon will be a welcom break from the research and reading i am doing for my thesis. love coffee, cats, and chocolate … and the oxford comma.
You’re probably wondering if I’m a real human being. Sorry to disappoint you but, I am. Haha. I just love potatoes that’s why I often use it as a way of introducing myself. My physical appearance are not very far from it though. Just kidding. I love the way God created me even if I haven’t really accepted some of my own flaws and imperfections. Well, I’m a very simple girl (potato) from the Philippines and my hands are made for bleeding poetry. I love dancing with my pen on a blank paper with my heart’s rhythm as the music, composed by my brain with the walls, pillows, and blankets as my audience. This is the first time I’m gonna have a different audience in our dance and I’m not really used to it but this is me, getting out of my comfort zone. So, I do hope you’ll enjoy the dance.
Hello everyone… Am a 21 year old girl trying to create magic yah you got it right I am a potterhead. But I believe in dreams and the power of the pen. Am a poet, a tiny little plant trying to grow through every storm that says “you shall perish”. I believe in equality of men and animal alike. I believe the world is a beautiful place. I believe the Pen is mightier than the sword.
Privet is Hello in Russian. Greetings to all the marathoners and readers.
I am in my late 20’s, working in the hospital. From dabbling in rhyming, I was inspired during ‘If Walls Could Talk’ poetry open mic KL to write again. My two friends and I have committed ourselves to writing consistently and publish our work on our blog, ‘The Muruku Murmurations’. We just held our own poetry night to celebrate our one year anniversary and published our first zine. I currently help in events hosted by ‘Speak City’ a up and coming poetry movement in Kuala Lumpur.
I spent a third of my life in Russia, which I consider as my second home. I am Malaysian Chinese by nationality but would not count race as a way to categories people. I enjoy listening to people’s life stories, gaining experience and exploring life.
This is my first Poetry half marathon, firstly, I would be adjusting my sleep time and prepping word webs for different topics and themes to write about. I also have 20 WIPs and if it fits the prompt, I will work on them during the Marathon.
I am a noun and adjective,
Sweet like sweets paid by Japanese Yen,
I will leave it to you to be creative,Then reply accordingly to your comments.
I am a ‘Jacqueline of all trades’ who loves wearing plaids.
I don’t believe in things that fade and fulfills the promises that she made.
I seek the hearts of the troubled, to be a listener in times when things are doubled.
I am the kind who stands in the gap, who will only call it quits when it’s a wrap.

Hello Fellow Marathoners!
It is a privilege to join this unique challenge. I am Shaunton, a creative writer, poet, and blogger. My passion as a writer grew when I was in high school. During those years, I wrote poetry as therapy. Over the years, I have written and recited poems to enlighten special events such as weddings, funerals and private parties for family, friends, and former colleagues. I am able to listen to a brief story about someone and write a poem as if I totally understand their emotions.
If I could describe my poetry in three words, I’d say it is INSPIRATIONAL, POSITIVE and EMOTIONAL. Although each writer has his or her own style, I always enjoy reading and/or listening to other poets. I look forward to reading as much of your works as possible. I hope to enjoy this experience.
Best wishes to each of you!
Shaunton
