Notes About The Poem
09/13/2025
Here's a fun Poetry Marathon poem inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) and his famous poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride.” I originally published this in my 'Mile 12 Closed and Being Judged' blog post on 8/30/2025.
I have included my Marathon-themed poetry in my Poetry Marathon blog posts since 2019, usually at the end of the blog posts, but I never posted them to my poetry page. So now I'm taking the time to post them to my poetry page.
Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Number one if I can—maybe last—we shall see;
Either way, at the finish line I shall be.
Ready to run and spread Marathon charm
In every mile’s contest do more good than harm
Doing nothing unfair to raise any alarm
