Welcome to another round of One Shot Wednesday, time to flood the place with poetry..
I, Claudia Schönfeld will be your host this week and in case you’ve been already wondering why One Shot Wednesday starts on a Tuesday…let’s have a look at the world clock and see what time it is around the globe when OSW starts..so I go from left to right..
Los Angeles – 2 pm
New York – 5 pm
London – 10 pm
Berlin – 11 pm (this is my time zone..and because of this I’ll be vast asleep when the party is in full motion…ha)
Moscow – 1 am (already wednesday..)
Bombay – 2:30 am
Beijing – 5 am
Tokyo – 6 am
Sydney – 7 am
So you see – our friends in Sydney are already having breakfast while Bombay is fast asleep when OSW opens the gates.
I love that so many people from all over the world are linking up with us – and yeah – let’s get the party started!
…here’s how it works:
- Post a poem to your blog.
- Then link your (ONE) poem to One Shot using Mr Linky. Enter your name and the URL (web address for your poem) for the poem you wish to share.
- Visit as many other One Shot Poets as you like. Feel free to encourage and interact with them. It’s all about community.
- Finally, please tell others about OSW. You may include a link to this page in your post.
Thinking about eating poems. Or something like that
It has been a while. I’m very glad to be back! Hope you are all having a good week. Kirsten
Kirsten gr8 to have you back. Smiles

Thanks Claudia for hosting and welcome all to One Shot Wednesday.
Please enjoy a day of poetry and inspiration!
Poem using the Catena Rondo form this week
I came as Patricia today, but we are both me. I wanted to offer this up to TITTS but realized it was too long. So, I offer it here
Claudia, glad to see that you, our Swiss Miss, is hosting this week. We’re in good hands , then, for sure. Any chance you could throw in some Swiss chocolate, too??

My latest limerick concerns spam as a leading indicator of a disturbing trend:
This Spam’s An Abortion.

Hello, folks……the temperature here in the South (and North) is Summer….and the mood is sultry…can’t breathe, move or much else in the heat.
So…the cooling winds of OSP is especially welcome!

2:30AM in Mumbai time zone? No wonder I’m never able to get my One Shot in the top ten entries any time
anyways, #132 ain’t that bad I think 
Cheers, and thanks for hosting!

The time-zone listing was perfect. It’s always nice to be reminded on just how global our poetic village truly is.
Pingback: Plagued cogitation « How I write, is mine…How you read, is yours
Thank you guys and gals, so much for putting this forum together each week. I can’t tell you all the wonderful poetry I’ve got to experience these past few weeks, I most likely wouldn’t have come across on my own merit. This compliment works the other way too, I know I’ve got a flow of visitors I didn’t have before, getting to experience, some of what goes on inside my mind. Thanks again so much:)
Pingback: Fried Green Tomato Heart | Wayside Word Garden… poems, art and other dances
Light-hearted entry today… fried green tomatoes, anyone?

I entered my poem to this, ‘A Tough Decision’. It’s my first time.
Really enjoyed reading everyone’s feedback. I’m going to browze all the poems here now and enjoy a fantastic diverse range of imaginations.
Brilliant website, I will definately be coming back!

still on the trail…reading…nice and randall’s poem made me wanna have a beer…smiles
thinking about peace & chaos and suchlike… trying to fit it all into an abbreviated haiku offshoot form – bit of a challenge, but hey, that’s life in a nutshell, isn’t it?
Happy One Shot.
Just a poem that I posted late to a prompt from We Write Poems that I’d like more people to see. Look forward to reading what others have posted.

I know it’s terribly late on Wednesday, but can I still play?

Well, I hope I am last this week; it would be appropriate as you will see from my poem. Thanks so much!
Can’t wait to start reading for this week!
Hello! Claudia…
Thanks, for sharing the time-zone information…Because it’s 12:47am in Canada and 11:47 in the mid-west where some Of my family members reside.
Claudia,
I don’t participate in the writing Of poetry, but I will take a peek at the artist(s), who do participate in One Shot Wednesday.
DeeDee
I was late. sorry everyone . I wanted to be apart of it and say hello
Better late than never. (I hope.)
Fun.
