Hi Mystery Author, this is a very good entry for this particular competition, this is a wonderfully structured poem that pulls the reader down the page faster and faster toward the finishing line, I wish you the very best of luck in the contest my friend.

Boy, I can remember those mornings like the photo shows. All behind me now. Too old for marathons. LOL

I am a writing addict, too. Can't seem to stop myself. But I'm going to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.

This is a very good acrostic with great wording. It certainly conveys how we feel when an idea hits and won't let go, doesn't it? 8-)

Like the way the poem reads. I never considered writing to be a race, but the
way you wrote it is very good. I think you crossed the finish line with this one.

Your acrostic structure is
spot on, your subject matter
is well laid out with your
chosen verbiage that moves your
reader easily through your passages.
A small suggestion--you've already
distinguished your first letter by
color therefore do not put a space
between it and the next letter when
forming your word--it tends to be
distracting (IMHO). Best of luck with
your contest. Lora

    Great Idea , I wondered about that and now I have someone to verify it. That is why I treasure the people like you on this sitte.

Great use of the Potlatch challenge to enter the Acrostic Contest :-)

I like this idea of "writing till we cross the finish line" - not in a sprint
but over the long haul of a marathon. Being driven, in much the same
way a long distance runner is. It's a great metaphor :-)

    Thank you so much. It was a great challenge and my first Acrostic. I think I will try it again sometime.

Oh, I see this is serving as double time. For a second there I wondered why I'd seen the Picture before.

Excellent acrostic poetry and I think running is likely even more addictive than writing if that's even possible. I wonder if people sleep run.

Great job, you and best wishes to you in the contest.

Gloria

This should also have been labeled at one of the potlatch entries, since the contest and the potlatch are both fair game. Not a bad entry. Good luck in the contest.

Morning Marathon is an excellent acrostic telling the story of those who love to run.
Very good use of alliteration with Cautiously, callously, comfortably, confusingly, calmly, continually.

Well done.

What a fantastic entry to this acrostic contest. You just took it over as far as I'm concerned. A wonderful job indeed. What a grand and golden piece.

For some, the finish line is just a dream of a happy ending. Your poem is the means of getting things in order. This is very well written with the energy to move forward.

    thank you so much. Writing has a finish line. But it is only one marathon at a time.
