Welcome To One Shot Wednesday
where you get to highlight your poetic talents
Hi I am moondustwriter and welcome to another week of great poetry. I have been impressed by the caliber of the poetry that I have been reading, many of you have inspired me and others in their writing the past few weeks.
If you are new to One Shot Wednesday here are a few guidelines:
>
1) Write a poem
2) Link your poem to One Shot using our Mr Linky (your name and the URL for the poem)
3) Visit the sites of other One Shot poets. We all appreciate encouragement. How did a poem speak to you or inspire you?
4) Tell others about One Shot Wednesday
On behalf of One Shot Wednesday, Pete Marshall, Adam Dustus, Brian Miller and myself, Leslie Moon, I would like to thank you for being part of this emerging community.
Let the games begin!
One Shot Wednesday is up and running for another great Wednesday (well it's still Tuesday where I am)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!!
Moon smiles
P.S. I'm still picking out which poem I'm going to use
Looking forward to another great week... I thoroughly enjoyed everything I read last week. Be Inspired Today! Love and Light, Sender
ReplyDeleteMy One shot is up. Not seeing mr. linky here, so I'm just going with this comment as the lead in to my post. My One Shot is HERE .
ReplyDeleteHey Moonie. Yay! Wednesday! Been looking forward to it. Last week was excellent both in posts and enthusiasm. Here's to another great week! cheers :)
ReplyDeleteMine's up:
Fall Again
Must have missed it the first go round. I'm up.
ReplyDeleteMr Linky along later? Here my scribble for the week. The Final Seaside Trip for both reading and hearing
ReplyDeleteooh Mr Linky has popped in so it posted there
ReplyDeleteI love Pete Marshall the man who knows what to press to make links and such work.
ReplyDeleteOk I chose a poem
linking up as per usual... poetry exudes here, and i love it. thank you for this communion.
ReplyDeleteThis one's for you, Leslie !
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another fabulous week.
ReplyDeleteLast week's poetry was awesome. Can't wait to get going on this week's. The weather is gloomy and wet here, so I can't think of a better way to spend the day.
ReplyDeleteMy One Shot is here.
Glad I'm not the only early bird. But I'll be sure come back and read everyone who posts after me.
ReplyDeletelooking forward to another great round as well - with a bit of a delay 'cause i'm in Zürich on business tomorrow - but the prospect of reading many great poems in the evening will keep me going..
ReplyDeleteThis has become a high moment in my week. My poem is posted. I look forward to sharing in the reading and writing. - Bill
ReplyDeleteThe address has been posted above. But here it is again:

I had to post 2 today. I wrote them both yesterday and probably should have saved them for today.
ReplyDeleteThe second offering, "Their Pain", I feel addresses a unique concern in society that often times gets overlooked... thus my highlighting it here.
Enjoy and Thank You!!!
I am looking forward to another week of one shot. I am overjoyed at the new blogs I have been able to read which link here. Awesome.

ReplyDeleteTea is solace and story. Well, and poetry :)
ReplyDeleteI posted "No Easy Solace" a little earlier in the week, so I hope that's ok. I also have a poem for today's Blog Carnival, "6:24 a.m.", and a new poem will post tomorrow afternoon for a Poetry Party at Abbey of the Arts. Its title will be "Dressing for My Monk".
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to be back after weeks at ceremonies. My poem was inspired by my adventure. :)

ReplyDeleteDone and done!

ReplyDeleteYou guys got it going on!!
Hi Moon (and my one stop poets :)),
ReplyDeleteHere is my one shot for the week...
A very happy Wednesday to y'all..
~Kavita
Just posted my poem - first time here, thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI am not quite sure what the rules are here. This is my first time and I guess this is my last dedicated weekly poetry programme. Five a week is about all I can manage.
ReplyDeleteNow I have chosen a format for each poetry entrant;
Magpie - photo prompt
MFM - disciplined 140 max
Poets United - Pantry Corner fr my past
Poets United - Thursday Think Tank - word/quotation prompt - tri photo poem
So for One Shot Wednesday - I hope to post a poem in three language interpretation.
I'll see how it goes...
Good to be back this week...this is becoming a habit for me. Thanks to all of you :)
ReplyDeleteTracy H
always a pleasure to visit here and rediscover the power of words...
ReplyDeleteYEEEHAAAWWW! Here we go again! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm giving it another try--I Find Solace.
ReplyDeletegood morning everyone! excited to be back and see what you have in store for me...
ReplyDeletewow, this is amazing (yes i am new to one stop poetry)!! a forum to share you poetry with like minded souls. I look forward to sharing more.... Donusho.
ReplyDeleteoops, sorry i didnt see the theme written in the left hand corner. ouch... Is there a way of removing the poem originally posted up and replacing it?
ReplyDeleteI added another humorous one, as those seem well received, but it is dark and evil as well as humorous. Just so you have been warned (or intrigued).
ReplyDeleteNobody was hurt in the writing of this poem. The reading of it may be another story.
I see comments about weather, the sea, and poems about poems, which is really bizarre because my poem is about all three! (And I haven't even read any of the poems submitted this week, yet.) But I will soon. Thanks, everyone.
ReplyDeleteHey i would like to try this One Shot wednesday :)
ReplyDeletehi all..been up since the crack of dawn and just got back from a day out with the kids at the zoo...time to kick off my shoes, pour a beer and enjoy the treats of One Shot wednesday...cheers pete
ReplyDeleteChris, I can't connect to your poem. It takes me to Facebook and unfortunately to my own page :(
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this week, thanks and enjoy reading amazing poetry everyone.
ReplyDeleteMines up...Message In A Bottle.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day/night all x
Goodnight Everyone! Had a great one shot! Will check tomorrow to see if I missed any poems. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThese poems are amazing. I only made it though 2/3s of them (dinner? can't you see I'm busy here?), but I'll be back tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOk guys this is a wrap for One Shot Wednesday
ReplyDeleteWhew
I've been blown away by some new to me poets and I am continually surprised by the depth of those I have known for awhile.
