One Shot Wednesday: A Place to Share Your Poems


Welcome to One Shot Wednesday - where you get to highlight your poetic talents

I’m  Adam Dustus, and I'll be your host for the poetic festivities. Since it was so much fun hosting OSW last month, I jumped at the opportunity to substitute for Leslie this week! The support and energy for One Shot Wednesday has been great, and I'm glad to be a part of it. With that being said, here's a quick recap of how One Shot works:

1. Write a poetic piece & post it on your blog

2. Then let us know about your post. Link back to One Shot

3. Sign up in the Mr Linky list, linking directly to your post, AFTER you've posted it.

4. Go visit others who have signed up! Offer support & encouragement. Share your love of words and insight respectfully. Please try to visit as many participating poets as you can. We all could use and appreciate kind feedback.

Lastly, all forms of poetry are accepted for One Shot Wednesday. Everyone is welcome.

Cheers.
Adam

    Thanks Adam for hosting this week.

    I hope all of you have a great One Stop.

    My poem is definitely breaking normal form for me. Hope you enjoy my version of Tennyson

    I have posted two poems this week. On not saying hello is new but Kingpin Baby was posted up on a quiet Sunday so I thought I’d give it another outing. Both are adaption of different formal poetry forms – pantoum and sonnet.

    I posted my poem, but it was the wrong link, the first time. So I posted the correct link and therefore there are two posts up for me.... I am sorry. I seem to goof this up almost every time. Please forgive me. If you can remove Silent Screams, that would be appreciated. If not, anyone who reads this comment, my post for this week is called Star Wishing. Heartspell :(
