I am looking forward to the marathon
Thank you for accepting my application. I look forward to participating in the Poetry Marathon.
Sincerely,
Mandy Austin Cook
Hi Y’all!
Hey y’all! This will be my fourth time participating, and I’m very much looking forward to it. I’m excited to soon be in the trenches with you lovely writers!
Name, rank, & other unnecessary details
Hey, this is me here in the void for, I believe, my seventh marathon.
2022
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since my first involvement with the Poetry Marathon! Like last year, I am planning to complete a half-marathon. Kudos to those of you who continue to write on into the night! Preparation includes reviewing some of my favorite forms of poetry and rereading some of my favorite poets. Looking forward to it!
My first post
You inspire me
It is safe to be here. Now. It is comfortable to be here. Now.
It is pleasant to be here. Now. It is appealing to be here. Now.
Here, you do not have a Putin breathing down your neck. Or annexing your territory. Or questioning your association.
Here, you are free to express your inner most thoughts without looking over your shoulders.
With the quiet note of the flute playing in the background, accompanying each stroke of your key, you are free, and completely enveloped by the sound of soothing music and oblivion of the madness unveiling on the other side of here.
Here, is a place that is free and devoid of political turmoil, oil spillage,
school shooting and school looting,
suicide and suicide note,
royal wedding and royal divorce,
football fans and football fanatics,
poverty and wants,
remorsefulness and regrets,
drugs and addiction,
double standards and low standards,
This is a safe place to be. The Poetry Marathon platform is a sane place, a safe place, a place to place my plate, a place to place my plait, a place to place my, never mind.
Rarzack Olaegbe is here now.
As he was in 2020. As he was in 2021. That makes it the Trinity.
A journalist with a vested interest in financial technology or fintech, as it is widely known. Used to publish an internationally circulated niche magazine for the fintech ecosystem. Run a syndicated weekly column in four platforms. A communication advisor to some fintech firms. TEDx curator. And still searching for more. Always curious. Always learning.
Always optimistic.
Always realistic.
Not fanatic.
Writing is a tool of expression. Because there are always stories to tell. If not about fintech firms and the ecosystem. It is about online banking platforms. Or fintech unicorns. Or would-be unicorns. Or venture capitalists. Or angel investors. Or cyber fraud. Or fintech brands. Or generating content for interested clients. Or persons. Or platforms. Or Poetry Marathon.
It is a privilege to be here. And now. I feel safe. In the comfort of this eminent group of renowned poets.
Ever learning.
Ever will be.
Because You inspire me.
Here I Go Again!
Hi everyone! I’m Christina Tang-Bernas. I’m doing the half marathon for the second time, writing from sunny Southern California. The first time was such a blast and pushed me to write, I knew I had to do it all over again.
I write fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. But poetry will always be my first love and what I write when I get stressed about all the other writing. If you’re curious, you can find out more here: https://christinatangbernas.com/
Thanks to the organizers for putting such a wonderful event on, and I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s writings!
Poetry Marathon 2022!
One of the things that sustained me through the pandemic was knowing there was a community of poets worldwide, sharing their dreams and their words of hope. The Poetry Marathon brings people together and helps us to create beautiful and poignant words that uplift and connect us. I am happy to be participating again this year in the Half Marathon. As always, I begin preparing ahead of time by baking so I have snacks during the day, by practicing, using the random prompt generator on the main page and by clearing my schedule for the day so I have the time to write freely. Wishing everyone good luck as we meet together on June 25th!
