One Shot Wednesday - Week 23

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.
