Welcome To One Shot Wednesday
where you get to highlight your poetic talents
Hi and welcome to another One Shot Wednesday, the fastest growing poetry community on-line. I am Pete Marshall, the only Brit amongst three Americans, and I will be your compère today. One Shot Wednesday has witnessed some amazing work by some truly talented poets and I look forward to reading more great poems today. Before we start lets recap on how One Shot Wednesday 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 Pete

Hi Maureen..and thank you for doing so..we welcome all and hope that by being a community we can spread some good throughout the world with our verse..cheers Pete
I posted a poem from my weekly (for two whole weeks now!) feature, Sundays with LC. Lemuel Crouse is my shadow self, the dark and brooding poet who loathes the light of day...
This is me continuing with poems using adapted formal structures. This one is a Sestina about a cold hearted seducer and its called I’m the beast that you fear, in the shadows of night
I've been hanging out amongst the trees again. Love the inspiration. Hop you will, too. I am posted, but will do my reading and commenting in the AM.
Hi and welcome to both Carolina & John...okay the London office LOL is handing over to the west coast of the good ol US of A....i cant see any more, crashing and looking forward to reading all the poems when i wake..happy One Shot all..Pete

Excited to find this site full of Poets!
It's a pleasure to read all your wonderful poems, it truly is.
I try to comment on as many as I can but it's a bit difficult when 99% of the time I'm only connected to the internet via a DumbPhone(tm)
Thanks for sharing.
Hmm. My name disappeared from the list. I must have put it in early. I have changed my blog so I can get comments and have several new poems. Especially would like you to read The Quest and Entertaining Woman. Thank you. Gay
I'm so excited! I have two days off starting tomorrow -- and time to read all the entries! Whooo Hooo!
good morning everyone...back for round 3...some fabulous work word art this week...and glad to see some more friends joining us this week as well...
hi y'all-- I've just got my poem up-- a cynical decima anti-love-song :-) I've also posted an mp3 of my music, in case any of you have been wondering...

I'll be reading this evening, and I will return every visit!
This is my first One-Shot-Wednesday, can't wait to check some other poets out!
My one shot is ready. Now, I need to get to work on the Autumn poetry competition. How fun!
Clearly, I'm always too slow to these parties. I found out about One Shot at last night's poetry party on tweetspeakpoetry.com
What a crew you've brought together here! It's fun to join the fun.
the party continues all day marcus so you are right on time...
Well today is Wednesday and all of you got a jump start it seems, although it is still early morn here in the PNW.
cheers,
Joanny
