24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
This will be my sixth half-marathon. Every year it sneaks up on me, and every year I find myself grateful for the ritual of it. There’s a sense of floating along on time and words, each post like the chime of a clock, knowing that we’re all doing it together. Wishing you all a wonderful marathon!
Hello everyone!
i like to think of this marathon as the writer’s version of stand-up comedy and improvisation. Loads of fun ahead I’ve noticed that I do well when put on the spot with no time to procrastinate. Spontaneity and limited deadlines can be good for the body and soul. Think of it as a mischievous bungee-jumping version of The Artist’s Date.
I’m back for the 4th time!!
I have my cleaning done and I am working on my snack list. I am so pumped for this, and have been doing some reflection back to my very first marathon… and I am glad to be able to participate yet again!!
So, this is my first Poetry Marathon, and I’ve chosen to do the Full marathon this year! Looking forward to this experience! Good luck everyone!

This is the first time
To join this platform
For gathering a new phase
To write to set.
This is the first time
To see the trail of words
How can they come
How can they shine?
This is the first time
To show a new trend
A challenge for a moment
That must be adorable one.
Pray to God
I’m not panic afterall
Dare to hold
Poetry is the lovely goal.
Hi everyone!
This is the first time I’m joining the poetry half marathon. I’m really looking forward to writing and reading some poems. If there’s anyone out there who has done it before and has any tips to getting a poem an hour done, I’d love to hear them.
Thank you,
Tammy
Hi Everyone,
This will be my second year doing the full 24 hour marathon. I am looking forward to it, the first was hard but so very rewarding and I ended up with many very nice poems after. This year I will have my ten year old, very ADHD, ODD, RAD grandson with me but, I am determined! Wish me luck and good luck to everyone as well!! Gypsie-Ami
Good morning! I’m sitting at home with the window open listening to the roar of lawn mowers, chirping of birds and the whoosh of cars down the street. And then the moments of silence. Maybe, just maybe, there’s a poem or two in those sounds and silence.
I’m looking forward to participating again this year. I found Poetry Marathon a few years ago and have managed to complete the Half Marathon. It’s not easy and even doing 12 drafts, for that’s all they really are, is quite a challenge.
See you tomorrow!
I am looking forward to the marathon tomorrow!
I wasn’t able to participate last year and I really missed it. It always gets my creative juices flowing!
