The place to highlight your poetic talents
Hi and welcome all, I am a very excited Pete Marshall and this evening I shall be your host for another One Shot Wednesday. Please do check out the details of our latest poetry competition also, an amazing prize is in store for our winner!
New to One Shot? Then let me explain how it works

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.

ReplyDeleteI had to come back here to say this. I am consistently awestruck by the collection of writers here.
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the best writings, by every writer every week. I am gobsmacked, literally. Thank you everyone. (snaps and blushes) You all should give yourselves a pat on the back.
WOW.

Little late to figuring this out, but I'll be back! Cheers, Jean-Michel
ReplyDeletegood morning to you all..well it is for me..the host returns having been allowed a lie in!!!!...great to see so much activity at One Shot...and great to see more newcomers as well as our regular great poets...hope you enjoy this amazing day...Pete
ReplyDeleteI decided to put up a poem that fairly reeks of social commentary. Well, maybe. It reeks of something.
ReplyDeleteAccidentally posted twice on
ReplyDelete# 78 and 79 (steveroni) Can you get rid on one of those?
Thank you--and it is not by chance, and not at all surprising that these poetry places of yours are the fastest growing blogs on the net, the most popular. GREAT content, GREAT poetry all through. A pleasure to join in with my amateurish efforts
Enjoy this SO much. Thank you again!
just reading through all the comments and would like to say a big thankyou...some great things are being said...but remember its you, the poet, that makes this work..cheers pete
ReplyDeleteI love the enthusiasm over here! What a delight! I'll get around to visit.
ReplyDeleteOK - so yesterday I was gushing a bit by the AMAZING work that I had read by that point.
ReplyDeleteI have now read each and every poem this week (so far submitted) and it causes me to wonder just how the universe conspired to bring us all together like this.
Between Magpie and One Stop - there is nowhere else you need to go on the net to find thoughtful, insightful, beautiful and poignant writing of all types.
THANK YOU EVERYONE and I am humbled to be in your company.
Thank you.
Love and Light, Sender

ReplyDeleteFirst time 'Shooter' here. Thanks for making this opportunity available. It's great to come out of my little corner and meet up with other writers. I'm looking forward to learning and enjoying!
ReplyDeleteyay - its time for one shot!!!
ReplyDeleteanother great one shot that keeps getting better and better...on behalf of us all many thanks for coming by...times getting late for me in the uk so will be turning in shortly...cant wait to see how it ends in the morning..enjoying the reading and will continue when i rise...cheers and take care all..happy one shot...pete
ReplyDeleteIt's really galling to deal with moderated sites. Why should I bother critiquing a poem when there's a good chance someone hypersensitive is going to delete my hard work? Can't I just review poems here & post a link?
ReplyDeleteI am so difficult. Like a jar of honey. So says the poem. :)
ReplyDeleteok i have been offline most of the day...got some reading to do...
ReplyDeleteI'm late.. but I'm here!
ReplyDeleteWill have lots to read I see!
wow...another great oneshot and thanks to all for taking part....as host i am now officially closing this weeks proceedings and look forward to a great return by you all and more next week...cheers pete
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm too late, but I'll include my link here-- it says the linky link expired and I have no idea where it is-- but thanks-- Maureen D told me about this terrific site and I post poetry often at http:loquaciouslyyours.com -- most recent poem posted yesterday. Dying for readers! xJ
ReplyDeletethanks jen...i have put your entry up but yes it is closed...we open from 10pm UK time every tuesday...i hope you enjoy your time here...regards pete
ReplyDeleteEven after 5 years posting and prompting poetry on the internet, it's nice to know I can still find a place I've not been. Nice site you have here. I am pleased to have posted a link to your 'One Shot Wednesday' on my Image & Verse poetry/art blog, and on my Writer's Island writing prompt blog.
