Testing one, two three
Testing won too 3…
Testing my capacity to sea things differently…as in poetics.
The best prep for me is to try to have a blank mind…which some may say is not too hard for me…
Hope you all have a fun, creative and innovative PM

Gearing Up for tomorrow!
Hello Everyone!
Hope everyone has their snacks and favorite caffeinated beverage. Happy Writing! See you all on the other side.

Excited
I’m so excited to be participating in my 4th marathon; it will be my third 24-hour marathon. I’ve been out all week because of a medical issue but nothing can stop me from creating great prose. Who’s ready? I am.
Is “Third Time” really a charm?
Hi Everyone: I am Marci and I am the Mayor of a small village in central Ohio. I am excited to get started and hope this year, my third year, I can hang for the full 24!!
Are there any other Mayors out there? Sure would love chatting you up after the marathon is over.
Goodluck everyone and I look forward to seeing you and reading your works tomorrow!!
Writing is my happy place, except when it’s not!
“In my little garden pretty” was the first line to the very first poem I ever wrote as a 7-year-old. I love words and making them work for me. I love laughter! Originally from western Pennsylvania, I am a coal miner’s daughter. Now residing in Lakewood, Colorado, I happily write at a mile high. My regular wordsmithing is as an editor/writer for a Women’s Ministry monthly newsletter (in year six!). I’m a professional editor and proofreader who has had several poems published in literary publications. When I was much younger, I aspired to be a baton twirler when I grew up. I partially fulfilled that dream by having careers in the education world (middle school through university level) where I had to spin as fast as I could to keep up with the students and advancements in teaching!
My horse, Morning Starr, and my 19-year-old feral cat, Mewzette, occupy some of my time when I am not creating with words. The Poetry Marathon is awesome!
First Post
Just checking in to say I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

Big lol to anyone who gets the title!
This is my second marathon, and I am way too busy in my life right now to do it, but I am going to try anyway. Hopefully it will go well. I love poetry, sci-fi and horror, and I’m hoping to write some genre poetry.
Hello Again
I’m back. So excited to participate again. I wait eagerly every year. I was afraid I may not be able to participate because two days ago my arthritis was not making life good. Luckily it was all due to the weather and passed. WordPress was also not working for me, that too got straightened out. I’m here now ready to go. I have my snacks, music, and for most of the Poetry Marathon time I’ll have my house to myself. I’m sure my cat will demand attention but that’s okay.
Was 2014 the first Poetry Marathon? I keep all my Poetry Marathon stuff together and found August 23-24, 2014 was my first. Wow, I’ve become addicted to this event.
Good luck to all
Introduction
My name is James Featherstone, this is my second marathon. I only did a half last time. I am going to shoot for a full one this year, but not sure if I will be able to make it. Before last year’s marathon, it had been a long time since I had written anything. I had been neglecting many of my interests and last year I decided to do the things I like. It was very liberating for me to get back to writing. I am excited to join again this year and look forward to seeing what everyone contributes.
