Welcome to One Shot Wednesday - Week 18
On behalf of all the team at One Stop Poetry, I welcome you to another One Shot Wednesday.
I am Claudia Schönfeld and will for the first time be your host this evening.
Since One Shot Wednesday got started, it soon became one of my weekly highlights.
I enjoy the poetry, the amazing creativity and the different personalities and styles.
It's such a good place to learn from one another and get inspired by each other's writings and - last but not least - meet fantastic people and build relationships!
Thank you for taking part and - let the fun begin!
~ Claudia
If you're new to OSW, here's how it works:
1) post a poem on your blog
2) Link your poem to One Shot using Mr Linky, where the prompt asks put the URL for the poem there. The URL is the web address for your poem
3) Visit other One Shot Poets. Tell them how you feel when your are reading, encourage and interact with them
4) Tell others about OSW by including a link to this page on your post

Thanks again. On with the comment derby.
Thanks again for doing this. I've been out of town off and on for several weeks and really missed reading all the submissions.
I am in! And first after the host. Woohoo!
See, you pause to think, and they sneak in while you're not looking.
Thank you for hosting.
I ask that readers focus on the poem and not the event that was its inspiration.
great to have you on board!
it's poetry time - yey!!
What a fantastic Tuesday already! Great feature earlier, Claudia. Thanks for hosting this week. Enjoy One Shot, Everybody!
Hello fellow poets, I put a poem on my other blog this time. Sitting back with a glass of Italian red, ready to read some great stuff from you folks...:) xo
Claudia, thanks for hosting this round. And to the rest of the community, thanks for keeping this going.
I really enjoyed being part of One Shot last week. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to read the poem and/or comment.
I linked up. Now I will read.
Thanks for this site: I look forward to it week after week.
Great reading other poets....

I am learning to love the one-shots. Thanks for hosting!
My poem today is dedicated to a cyber friend in Brisbane, someone who always encourages me to write Haiku, though I don't think I can handle it.
Kiss you all.

A brilliant way to find and read excellent new poetry. Managed to get round a few last week, looking to visit even more this week. Oh, and thanks everyone for all the comments the past two weeks; it is very much appreciated! Bring it on!
Thank you, I shall come back and read the other links later, I have to go out now. :0)
alrighty then...tonight I will read. For now it is hi ho hi ho time. Peace.
I've been reading some of the contributors poetry over the past week or so and today posted my own link for my first TANKA, named Basic Instincts. I would love to have constructive criticism from anyone who is willing to visit my blog and read the poem. I am so glad that I found this blog!!
I should have posted yesterday. Here it is, though.
Thanks for the opportunity to be heard, and to be exposed to all the talent on this site. Look forward to reading through everyone's stuff--it's not even 8 am here, so I'll be checking back later for more.
It is all about the discomfort that comes when touch is desired and unwelcome - the touch of friendship and compassion.
In the near future, I may not be posting as many poems to one stop poetry due to other projects.(short stories@ http://wordswrung.blogspot.com
However, I would highly recommend you guys to any poet who desires to share his or her work with other poets. peace and love JHpoetry
Looking forward to another week's worth of great reads.
Thanks for another chance to meet new poets! I've met some wonderful new friends through this gathering.
just wanted to say what a great day of reading i am having...thanks to all who visit...cheers pete
And here another Wednesday comes
and words poured out
off tripping tongues..
my post is up and now I'm off to work on NaNoWrimo piece
Thanks again for the resource.
Late but up.
We must barter for bread
With an open hand
unbound,
breaking the codes of silence

I love the images and the honesty in this poem...Read it five times and it is still sinking in.
Also, the photo on your blog is amazing...love it!
