Welcome back to another One Shot Wednesday. I'm Moondustwriter (aka Leslie Moon) hosting this round of poetry. We want each of you to feel welcome at One Stop Poetry. If you have been coming by regularly, can I encourage you to read the post before yours so that each person has at least one comment (this is especially true for late posts). If you are new, please comment and tell us who you are so we can welcome you properly. The goal is not to read through as many poems as you can rather to enjoy the talented poets and soak in inspiration for your next poem. A friend of mine likened reading a good poem to looking at a fine piece of art in a museum; spend some time getting to know the work and the writer and ENJOY!
Here is the format for those of you just starting
1. Write a poem
2. Come to One Shot Tuesday night or anytime Wednesday and put in the necessary information on Mr Linky. If Mr Linky is down you will need to put the URL in the comment box. The URL is the web page address of your poem
3. Leave a comment (we love to hear from you)
4. Take a few moments to read a poem or two and give some words of kindness. I personally like constructive criticism but if you do that keep it positive.We have poets of all levels. I know how much it means when the reader can give the poet some encouragement. Thanks all of you for always knowing the right thing to say.
Thanks to each of you for your wonderful writing and for inspiration each week.

Thank you again, to the One Stop team, for having this venue -- it's become one of my favorite things to do on Wednesday mornings. Happy One Shot everyone!
Better late than never!
I will give this one week one shot, just because Brian Miller said to.

Late again...but not dissappointed.

Hello! Looking forward to sharing!
Glad to be back at another One Shot Wednesday.
I love One Shot. It's encouraging to me that all levels of poetry, from beginning to published are welcome here. It takes some of the fear out of pushing that button and throwing your baby out in the street ;-)
If the season already has you feeling a bit grinchy, I hope this rhyme will bring out the Christmas spirit within thee. :o)
Whoville Spirit by Rhyme Me a Smile
Wednesdays! It's getting to be a sweet compulsion, but really a great prompt! Thank you for another week of great poetry reading
I used to hate Wednesdays ;)
I'm really looking forward to reading as many of these as I can.
Cheers!

Wow this has been a great 24 hours and we still have a few more to enjoy the great poetry. If this is your first time welcome we hope you enjoy.
Moondustwriter
P.S. Can't wait to hear what Pete Marshall has up his sleeve to announce on Saturday - I'm hoping its chocolate
I am new here and just an esoteric, didactic rhymer, or so the professor said. That was a long time ago, wonder if he's dead.
Now at age 62, I finally dare to want to be one of you. Please be kind.
Sure would enjoy having some poetic friends towards the end.
Here's my first try:
RANDOM EMOTIONS
Intimidated by the Number of Stars
Burdened by the Weight of Seas
Frightened by the Darkness of Night
Intrigued by Love emanating from Light
Confused by the Insistence of Time
Prisoner to Reason and Rhyme
Seeking freedom through Death's door to be trapped in a corroding Body no more, this dust will one day be left behind releasing this buoyant Soul to freely explore Eternity.

Thanks for this place.
Wow - I'm still reading great poetry from this week's One Shot Wednesday. Mr. Linky will be up a bit longer for any who might still want to join in.
Thanks to each of you for your encouragement and inspiration to me and others.
Have a great remainder of your week. Please check in on Saturday as we have some exciting news to share.
