My name is Angelle. I write poetry for fun and brain work. I tend to be best at rhyming, Dr Suess type poems, though I try to stretch myself and try other styles, and topics. I am going to try and think ahead for topics and styles, as I am not used to a time restraint..lol. I am only doing the 1/2 marathon as my schedule ( and age..lol..) doesn’t allow for staying up all night anymore..
Looking forward to it, and hoping I do OK.
Yay! My poems tend to all rhyme as well, I find that’s just what works best for me! Good luck 😀
Thank you, Good Luck to you too…( I’ve actually managed a few that didn’t rhyme..way harder for me though..lol)
Angelle,
I thoroughly enjoyed your work – you have such a way to organise words that makes one read it twice… and each time it conjures up another story [for me anyways] then I have to read it again!
Conversation with a Child had me very emotional while Awakening also hit a chord!
Thank you so much for sharing your work!!

Adri: ( cool name)
Why, thank you very much, I am blushing…and coming from someone I think is way more talented than I , it is really nice. It is nice someone liked them too.
I read a lot of yours during the marathon, but not all, your intro was even cool..I am meaning to go back and read more when I have a little more time…I am sorry I can not quote any specific one at this time, mostly because I read in a hurry , and my memory sucks these days ( lol)..but I remember enjoying them and being impressed and remembered your name, so I could go back. I didn’t read very many that day…mostly because I spent most of the time writing..lol..
To be honest, I struggle with: compared to most of the marathoners ( including you)and other poets I know, my poems often seem so simplistic/even childish sometimes..weird thing is I am actually a deep thinker type..but, for some reason not often in my poetry..the rhyming ones come easier to me..and it has been suggested I might make a good children’s book poet. a al Dr Suess, my hero…lol.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to carry on ( succinctness isn’t one of my talents either..lol)..I am just very appreciative for your kind words ..and tickled someone read them and enjoyed/got something out of them..
Angelle
