#poem-off

The poem-off has gone from fast and furious to slow but steady! In @mitchelljaworski's last entry, he talks of second chances. I wasn't sure what to choose from my dwindling selection of poems-from-the-past,

The poetic dance continues and of late seems there are perfect fits. My entry may not be may favorite in form, but being a natural response I cannot acquit. Here is my latest entry in response to @uniwhisp's

Welcome to the Poem-Off!! We've stumbled upon the land of bitterness and love's ending. I wavered for a moment, debating on taking a turn back the other way, but this one felt most fitting to answer

The saga continues (cue the music!) with my latest entry into the poem-off with @uniwhisp. I will admit, rhyme-wise this is not one of my best, but it plays the perfect inflection to @uniwhisp's latest,

Eleventh round, I do believe, and yet the poets still do weave. Indeed the steps get trickier, and perhaps the choices stickier. Where will it all go? Only one way to know! Continue to follow - to and

The poetic dance continues, with each one it becomes harder to find the right step. Here is my latest entry in the poem-off with @uniwhisp Read her last entry here: The Wound Sins of another Built from

I bow in humble gratitude for my partner-in-poem's patience with me! Things have become challenging as we continue to trade poem for poem, reaching back into the past - reviving old thoughts, emotions,

We shall see what direction this one takes us as the poem-off between @uniwhisp and I continues on its epic path! You can read my counterpart's latest entry here: Spring Cardinal What I really love about
