I watched the London Marathon yesterday, my son and his wife were in it, (mad!) bless their hearts! I loved your acrostic, it was perfect, especially the 'c' that allowed all the words that take you to the finishing line. Well done, and good luck! xsx Sandra

Thank you so much, I am so excited that your son and his wife were in that race. Amazing. I love that our writing takes as much training as a marathon does only with our minds.

This is a fine entry for the contest
A poem that simulates the feel of a marathon
only words are the runners
Your poems reads very well as a single line all the way through,
which few writers do anymore.
Nice bit of alliteration that fits the poem well
Excellent picture to match poem
Well done
Good luck in the contest

-Good acrostic with a comparison between a writer and a runner.
-You begin the "race" in the morning, filled with words
"To tell the stories
In vivid detail"
-Then,
"Dancing rhythms
Drive the thoughts"
* I really like the alliteration here, as it is demanding.
-Good last line.

This is a well-put-together poem. You pointed out what we consciously and unconsciously do uncontrollable reactions to Everyday Life all lights come on and respond intuitively this is a very mental Poetic Justice great job keep pushing the pen and tapping in keys

And I thought this was going to be all about running, but of course it couldn't be really, not with that acrostic. Pleased to 'C' you not missing a chance to alliterate with such style.

Hi A good entry for the contest. I got the impression you are a runner who also writes poetry. Or maybe the whole poem is just a metaphor. In either case it is well written with good use of the letter C in your penultimate line. Well display piece and I wish you good luck in the race - sorry the contest LOL. Warm regards Dorothy x

Superb use of the given prompt.

Seeing it as a need to get things down on paper.

A race to offload all the rich words and phrases desperate to be seen as well as felt.

Good luck with this, it is an enjoyable read : )
