Welcome to One Shot Wednesday - Week 24
On behalf of all the team at One Stop Poetry, I welcome you to One Shot Wednesday, Week 24!
I am Claudia Schönfeld and will be your host this evening. As I'm hosting from Germany and we already have 11 pm over here - I will soon leave the party - but this should not keep you from celebrating, reading as many of the poems as you like, chat a bit in the comments section, meet some new friends and enjoy the cumulation of excellent poetry.
I would also like to remind you of the One Stop Anthology - a collection of "Best of One Shot - the first six months", a collection of the best OSW's entries, published under Limited Editions Press Follow the link to read more.
Now let the fun begin - thank you for being here and making One Stop what it is!
~ Claudia
If you're new to OSW, here's how it works:
- Post a poem on your blog
- Link your poem to One Shot, using Mr Linky. Where the prompt asks put the URL (web address for your poem) for the poem there.
- Visit as many other One Shot Poets as you like. Tell them how you feel when your are reading, encourage and interact with them
- Tell others about OSW by including a link to this page on your post

Welcome everyone to another week of One Shot
If this is your first time please feel welcome to read as many poems as you would like.
We never want people overwhelmed by the volume
Enjoy
Crud. Think you guys could remove that first link of mine there? It's not my one :( posted automatically, grrr.
Good times anyway. Another One Shot Wednesday!
On with the verse rodeo. . . thanks, again, y'all said the cowboy before choking on a wad of chew that had lodged itself in his throat. Frakking idiot.

welcome to another round of great poetry - looking forward to what you've brought to the table
Thanks everyone or this forum. Posting an old poem today, but one I wanted to be eligible ;-); hope you like it.
I've re-posted an older piece that (I think) deserves more attention.
So glad to be back here at OSW... Mine's up and ready! I hope you enjoy it while I am away reading and enjoying yours...
Have a beautiful week ahead, peeps!!
I'm with Steve. Time to saddle up! :)
Thank you, I will be back to read and comment tomorrow, I'm off to my bed now.
Anita.
I cannot believe how quickly everyone gets here.
Pleased to be participating again. My poem is titled "A Hand Has Its Uses".
Many thanks to you and all the contributors.
Thank you, thank you...it's an education to read all these wonderful poets!

I saw two poems with the One Shot Wednesday link, was wondering what was going on... just discovered this today :) Thanks.
Let's meet at jewel-tree corner. :)
OK, My first entry in this, I've been reading entries for a while but always missed the 'Mr Linky' in the past.
I had an entry last week here, and now reading Kavita's poem of today I saw One Shot Wednesday and said let me give it another try ... Hi again everyone!
nice...welcome to one shot everyone! looking forward to another great week!
Good evening everyone...Always love Tuesday night, wine in hand. xo and the list keeps growing...
it's great to see so many talented and fantastic entries - nevertheless - already after midnight over here - so good night - will play catch up tomorrow and may dream some poetry tonight..

Ready for another week! I'll be reading as many as I possibly can!
HI- first post.. a very short one..
Hi,guys!Hope you like what I wrote!Fun one shot,everyone!
Lovely to meet you all, though I see there are a few familiar faces on here. Since I'm posting from work, I suppose I'm actually getting paid to read poetry. Hot dog.
Always a pleasure to join this group of talented poets, writers and artists. Thanks.
Second Digital Painting done using a line-art by another artist accompany with a short poem! Hope you guys like it =D~
Wow, the room fills fast. Party time!
Inspired by Brian's One Shot last week, I had visions of winter fairies dancing under th moon as spotlight and surrounded by the sparkling crystals of frost... Instead the pros are about a winter sprite close to my heart!
This poem may kick-start a new holiday.
Thank you for accepting me ; )
Thanks again One Shot--you make Wednesdays bearable.
This one's for all the bullies..pffffffft.
Adding my thanks to the rest. What a wonderful hostess you are!Looking forward to sharing in this feast.
I put up an unpublished poem, but the sort of dark, comic verse you folks seem to appreciate most among my poems. Let me know what you think: It Can't Be Me
Want to remind all of you about the submissions for the Anthology. Any poem submitted here to One Stop is eligible. I have read many tonight already that would be excellent submissions
it's a great opportunity to be a published poet
yowza
A lil late - but always here!
Thanks for providing a place that has poetry's interests at heart. Keep up the good work. Thanks to all the poets that allowed me to read their work too.
This is my first entry here....looks like a very supportive place. Thanks.
My internet was down for several hours this evening, so I'm posting very late. Looking forward to reading lots tomorrow. Happy One Shot everyone.
Thanks again for this space! It's been an exhilarating experience to read and write poems and most of all welcomed by a great number of great poets here. The numbers do overwhelm but as moondustwriter says, we read as many poems and make comments as much as we can.
Hello!This is my first time participating!can't wait to read everyone's poetry!So glad I found One stop poetry!Peace!
Hello to you All wonderful Poets, I love this site and I am so grateful to Leslie, Adam, Pete, Brian , their work of support and promotion of poetry is amazing!!!
Off to read your verses now... ;)
Good to be here again. Hope you like my post....
I have to chuckle...it's 6 am on Wednesday and there are already 118 entries! Popular place you have here. I hope my entry is up to par to be included among the wonderful works linked up.
Late but not least, I'd say. My poem is not that good today, but the picture is worth the visit.
Kiss you all!
Number 120...hmmm not bad. This time of year for me is very busy.
My job is to help out Santa. So my reading time shrinks...I hope I can stop by many blogs to comment.
I'll try. Merry Christmas
Only my second week doing One Shot and I am already in love. I've found some of the most wonderful poems to enjoy already. Wednesday is now my new favorite day.
Thank you for another Wednesday!
Looking forward to reading great poetry. Cheers. Claudia, you rock! Happy One Shot, Everyone! :)
Another one shot, another silly rhyming story from me. I hope everyone will come over to see.
I've also just launched a new topic prompted link sharing forum called Smiley Sociology. I hope that poets, writers, artists... bloggers of all types will share their links with me. :o)
Rhyme Me a Smile
My two One Shot entries are also for consideration for the anthology as they're unpublished pieces. Thanks for Wednesdays and good luck with the anthology!
Howdy. Glad to be here.
New to this one but thought I'd give it a go. I love meeting new people. Need to get back into Jingle's Rally/Monday Potluck. Thank you for putting this on. :-)
A very old one ... now shared with oneStopPoetry.
Thank you all.

I'm baaaaa-aaaaaaack! Something I posted on Monday. Might be new to you, might not be. Explore a little either way!
if you could get drunk on poetry (which i think you can..) i would tumble left to right if you'd meet me on the street right now...
read so many fantastic poems - it's amazing what talented poets you are - wow - my tongue is heavy with poetry and i feel like floating across the sky...and long to read and write and dream of words changing the world...
Glad to be here. My poem was first posted in Jingle's Poetry Potluck. Hope to visit some new-to-me poets this week. Victoria (liv2write2day)
