Welcome to One Shot Wednesday - A Place For Poets To Share
Brian here and this week I will be your host for One Shot! Can you believe we have only been at this for a month now. Each week i am amazed at the incredible word artists we are drawing to this community. Ok, let me cover some quick instructions;
1. Write an original poem and post it to your blog
2. Link back to One Shot Wednesday from your post
3. Sign up in the Mr Linky list, linking directly to your post, AFTER you've posted it.
4. Go visit others that have posted. This is a great way to learn new forms, meet new poets and gain inspiration for your next piece. though this is not mandatory we encourage you to visit at least one other poet and give some helpful feedback.

At One Stop Poetry we welcome all forms of poetry and hope that One Shot Wednesday gives you a chance to share, express and feel a part of our fast growing community. On behalf of Leslie, Adam, Pete and myself thanks for taking part and have fun out there....

Hi, finally got my tumblr site to take this week's poem. It's entitled Forever Blue. Leave remarks here as apparently it's funky or impossible to do so there. Hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to reading the poems you all have posted. Thanks for inviting me.

Hi Everyone,
Looking forward to reading all your wonderful poems!
gay, love your poem in blue...blue jens are my fav thing to wear...and the humor in your closing line is perfect...lol.
Thanks again Brian, Adam, Pete. Leslie...You guys are on the way to creating a MONSTER!!
I don't know if the poem I wrote for my son on Monday qualifies. It's titled "Twenty-two" and is here:

Any excuse to write a poem! :)
Thanks for the opportunity.
I linked up for the first time! Not really sure if I did it right and I'm not really even a poet, but oh well :-)
I hope to make it around to all of your posts over the next day.
Looking forward to reading everyone's fantastic poetry!
i love the freedom of this place...
This is like a buffet of nothing but desserts. Can't wait to dig in.
I’m up here.
I agree with PattiKen!
I made it didn't think would this week
Glad to be in again :) This is a swell group. Thanks for having me.

gmorning all...
pati i guess that means i get desert for breakfast...lol.
Due to my poor internet connectivity, I couldnt participate last week. My apologies to my friend, the host Adam Dustus and the entire team, Moony, B and Pete.
This week I am participating and I cooked up something for this specifically. I wish you all the best as well as this community. It is a good thing for poetry to be appreciated. Have a lovely Wednesday y'all.
Cheers!
i'm anxious to get started on my morning read--Happy Wednesday to all!
smiles,
I do apologize for not getting around to visit many of you last week. I am in the throes of trying to promote my book and it is all-consuming as you may imagine or have experienced yourselves. I will endeavour to visit, but may not have the chance to comment on all I read. I thank you for your patience.

If I had to pick my favorite - I would be in bad shape. This moon is overwhelmed by the quality of poetry here
Loving it!!!
Hi...
It's great to be back!
Here is my One Shot for this week... :)
Off to to read the other cool stuff now...
A lovely Wednesday to all!!
My first time. Love the concept.
Don't know if I did the right thing? Was there a prompt I didn't see?
no prompt annell...its a free for all...whatever you would like....
thanks for the opportunity- first time here.
@Gay: your poem was very refreshing! The analogy was quite stunning actually!
So carefully and neatly, you've let those emotions trickle through the words.. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you for the kind comments posted here. It was for me a summation of those "frustrating moments" with the guy you live with..can't live with/ couldn't get rid of :)
I'm wondering if I should change blog sites. I sort of fell into tumblr but it's not very accommodating. Any suggestions?
thanks for the forum and the reads and comments.
hi...my night is drawing in and i shall continue viewing in the morning...so far i have been nothing less than impressed..thanks for all your comments and helping to make to do ONE SHOT DAY...cheers to all Pete
Greetings Poets, Poetry-Lovers, and everyone else that just happened to stumble into One Shot Wednesday!
Thanks again to Brian, Leslie, Peter (if there are more culprits please let me know) for providing this wonderful new and supportive venue for online poetry!

Hey everyone!
I've really enoyed reading all the great writing here. I stumbled onto a contributor here (thank you Brian!)during a usual evening of poetry seeking on blogger and found his mention of Oneshot. This is the place to be, and to read!!
Good luck everyone:)
haven't done this in a while.
@ Mr. Bill : Enjoyed how your peom and image work together so well.
thanks for sharing with One Shot!
I think I am losing my mind. I linked my Sisterhood Journey poem to another blog yesterday, but somehow ended up on the list here, too. Thanks for all the nice comments. Believe me they were completely unexpected! (Strange!) Guess I will save the one I was going to give you today for next week pending any unforeseen Twilight Zone-type activity...
I always look forward to Wednesdays now!
Great poems all around from blog to blog! Just wanted to say that.
Thanks everybody
Reading this work is such a pleasure. So imagine my indignation that life dares to get in the way. I have gotten to only a handful of your entries. I will be back, and read them all before next Wednesday rolls around. I wouldn't miss it.
excellent week everyone...just getting to the last 8 or so...after a nasty electircal storm...
One Stop Poetry is now closed for this week....an excellent response and i look forward to seeing you all again next Wednesday when your host will be our own special lady, Moondustwriter...
Still got a few for poems to see so will finish my commenting today..but high standards set once again..thanks Pete
I just finished the last One Shot entry. I am so impressed. Thank you, Leslie, Brian, Pete and Adam for creating this "salon" (to use an old word) of talent. It is an honor to participate.
Good fill someone in on and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you for your information.
I just wanted to thank every one for reading and say how thoroughly I enjoyed all your works as well. Be Inspired Today! Love and Light, Sender
