Hadn&#8217;t written in years. You accepted me with open arms for the 24 in 24 hours. I was ecstatic and couldn&#8217;t wait to get started. How nice it was to be encouraged, accepted, and a part of something. I only made it to 21 but you made me feel great for accomplishing them<br \/>\nAnd you published me in the marathon book. Elated I was to say the least. This Poetry Marathon is the best. Dating, having a baby made me miss the next two marathons. 2020 hit with a pandemic and you still held it, I joined in again doing the 12 hour. It was a blast, I finished them all, what an amazing feeling. And yet again you published me, thank you thank you. You all are amazing poets and people<br \/>\nThank you for yet again letting me join on this years marathon, I finished again<br \/>\nI am honored to be a marathoner beside the caring, encouraging people in this big group of poets. Ok I think I&#8217;m finished now, no wait, I absolutely love The Poetry Marathon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hr. 12 Prompt 21 Fours years ago I first became involved in this.
