“Pre Marathon Systems Check”

Don’t blame me for what you read
i am only letting my fingers release
pent up tears and reveal self doubt
letting them tap with intent
not guiding what they let leak out
RHCP playing in the back track
to an empty room
meant to be filled with laughter
News feed scrolling through land mine filled
posts of ideal
yet even with permission
they hold back…
I do not wish for secret camping trips
or fears of liberties lost
I do not embrace the current temporal change
this heat separating us
after such an intentioned period of hushed conversation
dread filled decisions laced with heavy defeat
The radio now humming of laughter felt…
disconnected from the emotions of my moving finger tips,
and i wander how we meld through this
“I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I’m spinning
Oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away”
Junior Knight (warm up#1)
*(final stanza is from Black: Pearl Jam)

Docks Noob

Lazy Lassi

Couch potato

They are docks noob

Walrus walnut

Music maniac

They are best docks noob

Gone or andro maniac

Money mad or make money

They are worst docks noob

History or geography

Grasshopper is a lazy Lassi

Greedy or foodie

They are also docks noob…

 

 

The morning

I hate this morning,
Everything spoiled on the beginning.
I come out from my home,
Then i walked in the road.
I see my surroundings,
Everyone enjoyed with everythings.
I feel my way is empty,
My surrounding is always dusty.
I wanted to walk alone,
My way is always long.

 

Soul star

When we die,
We go to the sky.
Our soul would become a star,
Then we go Far!.
You are my sweet heart,
That memories will be hot.
I can see you in the night,
Your so bright in the night.
I will see you clearly,
But you didn’t find me.

Another Year, Another Time, Another Rush

Hey guys!!!

So happy to be here once again!

I’ve done this so many times I feel like I’m losing count! 5th one! Big ole number five. Hard to believe — a half, three fulls, and this will be another half.

I’m on vacation this year, nestled deep in the Kentucky mountains, which would seem like the prime inspiration point for some wicked nature-based poetry…but the internet connection here doesn’t cooperate with that notion.

But it’s okay. Everything happens for a reason.

Usually I use the Marathon as the main poetry-generator for the year, but this past year I’ve been in a writing group and have generated about a poem a month — which equates to what I’d be missing out on by doing a half. It all evens out.

All a part of God’s plan.

This year I’ll have my muse by my side, though. My star.

So we’ll see how this goes.

It is sure to be a good — nay, great — year.

See you on the writing side. 🙂

Blessings!

Recent Acceptance

Their heartbreaking wokds,

My heart cries aloud,

Never understand taste in me,

I have scripted how i should be.

Thousands of worries,

Day be day my dream buries.

I knew my life’s superstar,

They are big pop star.

You make me feel alone,

Why can’t I live like a princess of avalor.

What makes you feel I am ugly?

I have more stuffs to show widely.

And,I am really heart broken,

I dont’ think that I will be awake from this hell world.

While i am growing older,

I thought my recent acceptence would be happiness.

But.This is nothing I have expected,

And never accepted.

Nothing can be changed,

While worrying….

The only mistake I had done is “WISH”

I just wonder….

~How silly things makes you rude?

Only the god knew all my secret fears,

And my secret tears.

I try to a achieve my wish,

This is the only thing which makes you cruel.

You would think which could be protective,

But,never thought which makes me happy.

SOMETIMES I MADE WRONG DECISIONS,

BUT,MANY TIMES YOU AVOID MY OPINIONS.

Surely one day I will reach my destination,

Until my poem never ends……

 

 

 

Hello Again, All!

My name is Cat, and this will be my second year participating. I had a blast last year, and I’ve been waiting all year for this.

I have a Chihuahua and two cats. My favorite past times are internet shopping and playing Stardew Valley. I drink way more diet soda than I should, and I love a good haiku.

 

Have fun everyone!

Heather Lyn T. Introductions

Hello, This is the first time that I am using this platform. I am unsure of what to say at this moment I have been nervous and excited all at the same time.

I plan to be as quick as I can to get the flow of writing all these poems. This is the biggest challenge I have ever registered for and proud that I am willing to give it a try.

I am going for the full 24 hours or at least that is the plan anyways.

I wish everybody good luck and all the best!
