AAAHHHHAAAHHHH

Forget the pen

lose the mace

it is stinging

my writing face

hurry up

keep the pace

here it goes

a writing race

push and shove

ladder wrungs taken

advice so harsh

is death in the making

don't do a rr

do do a rant

a dash of this

a little of that

wait sort it

then put it back

now come around again

maybe it is talent we lack

a guessing game

a writing race

horse play

rate it high

give it a like

multiple accounts

a husband and wife

do you like me?

why do we care

two months on wc

and I am pulling out my hair

i'm coming in last this morning...

yes, it is not about quantity, but quality..

and it is about being real...

we are lucky to write...and i wish everyone felt that..

poetry is not competition....

it is experience, feeling and relating on some level.

[Holly Mason]

I have simply enjoyed the last 8 weeks of my life more then I have in years...
I just want to write not race and I was reminding myself of this for I am competitive person I am a soccer mom*) I do not want to get caught up in it-I just want to write and if someone wants to read it then so be if not I will keep writing-
enjoy your day off sir wish I had won the lottery I would send you to your love for the Holiday weekend....just sayin'*)

The pace of reading is a race! Great write :)

[Holly Mason]

thank you for crossing the finish line*)*)*)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

And you said it so nicely... first off the writing should be a bout quality not quantity... I do not do rate anymore nor care if I get one. For me it is abput people relating to my work or having it make them think, sometimes hopefully entertain them as well.

THis was quite witty.

[Holly Mason]

well Thank you fine sir
I hope you have this Good Friday off of work if not we have doctor notes readily available*) thank you for racing with me truly*)*)

[A. H. Pinley]

[Holly Mason]

Just sayin' thank you fine sir

[Jack...]

Come on now...it can't be that bad?

[Holly Mason]

when adapting to this site...yes it is but I have also never social networked before the personal safeguards are not anything I expected
rumors and writing-interesting combo but I appreciate the pieces I get to read
I just had a writer send me a mail and it looks like they have printed some of my stuff and I do not recall even being asked safeguards strange*)
did you get the Easter Bunny costume in order for your first grandchild???*)*)

[Jack...]

Photo coming

[Distant horizons]

[Holly Mason]

Is that why your bald??*)??*)

[Distant horizons]

:-)
No, it's all those mud baths in the swamp and no shampoo. :-)

Amazing!

While reading it, I just found myself racing through the lines. I even read again to try if the same effect would happen. And it did!

The spontaneity of this poem is superb. It was as if I was reading the mind of the poetic persona. This is such a spontaneous overflow of instant thoughts. Well, it really appears that way. Makes me think that the poet writes as she thinks. =)

Thank you for sharing this fast-paced poetry, Holly. =)

[Holly Mason]

[Sir Joe]
