I can see the finish line
the ribbon yet to cross
I enjoy the marathon
and the sleep that is to come
I am so humbled
to finish this test
And to do it
with you the very best
I’m not alone in this
trialed contest
I have the poets heart
all those writing next to me
Let us cross the finish
with our last of this tired poetry
I’m with you!!!!
I think I slept for to long after this lol.
I enjoyed reading, “The Finish.”I admire you so much for doing the full marathon Tamara! This is such a great ode/ motivation to your completion! Congratulations! I loved your use of imagery with the “poet’s heart” and comparing the poetry marathon to a running race- beautiful comparisons.
And you did it!!!! Yay!
So many of us did, everyone mattered no matter the hours we wrote. I just love poetry!
I wish I had seen this poem before now. I only did the half marathon but by the 12th poem I was whipped. You expressed it well.
This so aptly captures what most of us were feeling. Well done!
