Wood, worn, chipped, yet polished. Warm, the mood between shadows and pockets of soft light around tables. Music, but voice only, buzzes, smile to smile, eye to eye, some blue, green, brown. Some loud, some soft, some hard, some light. A spotlight centers on a stage, reflecting in the silver skin of a lone mic.
From the back, “Hey, glad you are here, Welcome to d’Verse.”
D’verse Poets Pub is a place for poets and writers to gather to celebrate poetry. We are many voices, but one song. Our goal is to celebrate; poets, verse & the difference it can make in the world. To discover poetry’s many facets and revel in it’s beauty, even when ugly at times.
People enter, people exit but we hope you stick around long enough for us to get to know each other and that you walk away inspired to write.
We have three opportunities each week for you to take the stage and mingle with your fellow poets:
- Poetics - is all about inspiration. You will write about a provided prompt, whether music, art, photography, quotes or other challenges. Poetics opens at 3 pm EST on Saturday.
- OpenLinkNight - is our large gathering where you link any poem you would like. This is a great place to meet and hear new voices. OLN opens at 3 pm EST on Tuesdays.
- FormForAll/Meeting the Bar: Critique and Craft - is our lab, where you will receive teaching on poetry forms and critique. This is where we hone our skills. FormForAll and Meeting the Bar: Critique and Craft will alternate weeks and opens at 3pm EST on Thursday.
We are open to your ideas for future expansion of our line up. If you have an idea and are willing to commit the energy to make it happen, please email us at dversepoets@gmail.com.
We are glad you are here. Enjoy.
And we are SO glad you are here, fantastic!! This poet’s a humming!

I’m new to online poetry communities. Not new to poetry — it’s in my blood, but sadly I’ve suppressed its call for too many years. I’m very excited to have found this friendly poets pub on the day of its opening.
I say, cautiously..hello
This is excellent! Any chance you can do email reminders on the days it’s going on??
Just got tapped on the shoulder that there’s a new pub open, so sorry I missed opening night. But I’m here now, and the next round’s on me! …Congratulations on the new digs!
It is never easy for me, to get what the requirement or the link page is to start of with
So lets just say, I am working my way around the site to get a feel of it
sounds cool! A friend suggested I check out what y’all are doing here– i’ll stop back on Tuesday w/ a link.
So happy you are providing this forum!!! YaY!!!
HELOOOOOOO!!!! Bloody hell when did this happen and where’s my g and t barman!
Great that you’re here and look forward to mingling a little with you folks over the bar 
Glad I found you guys:) how fun:)
Well what can I say – a pub dedicated to poetry – my idea of Utopia. I hope you serve good English ale
…
This Pub has a warm sophisticated feel to it. Just love it!

What a great Pub, and within walking distance.
Hello there.
A cool, rainy evening here in our neck of the woods. A good night to cozy up to a fire and read some good poetry!
Thanks for the kick I have been needing.
hi, this may sound like a silly question… i just found this site tonight, and i’m looking for the actual links to the poems submitted, and i can’t seem to find them. am i missing something?
Revolutionary Greetings!
Poet on the set. Not sure what this site is all about, but I guess I find out since I am now following you. I look forward to contributing some of my work here in the future. Peace and Love.
Great to see you guys here. I used to love the one stop poetry site. I was so disappointed the site shut down. Only recently my friend Leo (Vinay) told me you folks have moved here. Great to re-discover you guys. Hope to once again start learning about poetry and start writing poetry again.
Lovely. This is just the kind of thing i was hoping to find.
I’m so happy to have chanced upon your site.
This goes well with guacamole. Glad we found each other!
Hey, lovely to be here. There’s not any restrictions on the type of poetry, is there? I’ve been doing a lot of performance poetry lately…
no restrictions on the type at all carl…enjoy some performance poetry myself…be over in a few. ~brian

This looks like my kind of pub. I just finished a big blogging project, and am now committing myself to a schedule, which includes one day of poetry. it’s a form of writing I enjoy, but have a lot to learn about, so I’m excited that you have lessons. Looking forward to OpenLinkNight. See you there!
