Marathon
\nVCS<\/p>\n
Waking Up
\nIs hard to do
\nWith images dancing in my mind
\nMingling into dreams
\nI should have a coffee
\nOr go for a walk
\nBut right after this
\nI’m all done this run!
\nIt’s called a marathon,
\nBut it’s something else as well,
\nIt’s reaching deep inside
\nAnd pulling out our minds ideas
\nOf heavens, hells and incidentals
\nLike a department store
\nOf hopes, dreams and fears
\nWriting a poetry marathon
\nExposes more than just ‘feels’
\nI’m wide awake now
\nI want to do it again
\nBut if it’s all just the same
\nI may sleep for the day
\nEvery time I run
\nI want to do it again
\nIt bursts all the blocks free
\nThe words are never
\nOnes that I’ve planned
\nNow that we’re done
\nPat myself on the back
\nMost of all
\nWrite again after a nap! <\/p>\n
The Internet hasn’t been great for the past few days. I was told it was okay to add this. It took me until now to get back online on my computer! All poems were finished on time and from what I can see all the others fortunately did upload (very fortunately because I only kept a duplicate of a few of these. This one has been in my clipboard ever since the marathon! Please note I was commenting right up until a few minutes before it was time to write last poem)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
