My name is Adam Dustus. Welcome to One Shot for our 11th week! I am extremely happy to be part of this supportive peer community of talented poets. Let the fun begin!
New to One Shot Wednesday? Here's a quick recap of how it 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.
All forms of poetry are accepted for One Shot Wednesday. Everyone is welcome.
Cheers.
Adam

Hi Everyone, Looking forward to the weekly gathering. It gets better every week. This week I have up an old poem from 1972 called Nine Years. I thought it appropriate for the 9 yr anniversary of 9/11. Love to have your comments. Thanks.
@Emily ...was not able to post comment on your poem. Like when the spotlight was on you, you shine again. Appreciate the sense of gratitude in your lines for life and learning. cheers
Great poems, Everybody. Enjoying what I'm reading!
yo yo yo welcome to one shot everybody! making the first of my rounds...cant wait to read what you got for us this week..
I posted one of my poems from my blog "Backyard Poetry" called provocatively "Would the Crucifixion Have Been Televised?"
Curious to see the response.
Thanks,
George Pappas
YAY!!!
Rock on for another Week!!
Looking forward to reading through this week!
Grab a glass of wine and let the dance begins!=D Sorry I am late XD just woke up :D I am off to read now^^! I am excited to join in this week =D~
"Huff, huff, pant..."
I'm pulling my poet's mantle on changing out of my work attire.
Phew -I'm here - better late than never. Thanks Mr. Dustus for getting this show on the road.
Hope you like a new version of Aesop's Fables
Moon smiles and outstretched arm of welcome to each of you to One Shot Wednesday
Oh please, please take #41 off. Delete. I'm trying to figure this all out for the first time ever. I'm scared for me and very excited to learn from all of you. I want to grow as a brand- new- pink- baby- poet. Tomorrow morning with coffee, I'm havin' me a clicking party - with your words. Forgive me this once for posting two? I was flooding words...
I wrote "Haiti" after last winter's earthquake and seeing a story about the destruction there.
I missed one of the Magpie deadlines and decided, might as well write it anyway, made it just in time for One Shot. Phew! Thanks for hosting this amazing party!
alright peeps, see you in the morning...happy one shot!
My poem is up! Happy One Shot!!
An excellent start to One Shot! Time for sleep. Be back tomorrow. Thanks Everbody :)
Must be tired. I know how to spell. Really I do. lol Goodnight
I see my contribution more as a visual landscape and, as ususal, I'm trying to get away from the first person focus of my own poetry, if only for a while.
I'm happy to be here with you all again...I just get this One Shot on Wednesday, so I try to make it count :)
I am really enjoying being here (And as I am new at the Tweeter @VerseEveryday, its specially fresh feeling) and reading lovely verses from many people, specially Peter Marshall. I have given the link to my poetry section on the blog where I have posted some of mine, hope you will enjoy it
ॐ नमः शिवाय
Om Namah Shivaya

Hello hello. Great to be back. It's morning here. Have a fresh cup of coffee and appreciate your posts and comments! Let's keep the party going :)
Look forward to reading through the work. Happy Wednesday everyone.
I decided to go for something more serious for once, with some futuristic science fiction poetry. Let me know what you think!
Thank you so much for providing this special place to share our writing.
My entry is in, but not exactly a perfect haiku. Enjoy.
Thanks again for the opportunity. :)
Holy cow! I've got a lot of reading ahead of me!
(Good thing my boss is out of town!)
GREAT ONES AT ONE SHOT WEDNESDAY!
Adam, I did not mean to give you and your fellow poets a shock, but here I am, giving you my first one shot Wednesday,
let me know if you want me to stop...
I feel somewhat strange coming here.
BEST WISHES!
This week I'm combining a new poetry form with a challenge to take photography to a different level as well. All for His glory, I'm looking closer!
I thought I would give it a one shot this week and play along..
