Real people with real lives who touch us, influence, inspire, motivate, move us to tears, make us jump for joy, laugh out loud, make us wanna set out on a boat and embrace the clouds, light a candle and just sit in the spell of their words for a bit… &..&..&..
Write an ode today– to a specifiic poet (dead or alive) or to poets in general–
Today– if not always anyway– it’s all about people—

The power of their scribbled words
as poets fight with written swords
The softness of their tender pens
their words make love that never ends
The pictures in their sooty ink
the sweetest wine – a ruby drink
I still have vacation so I will not post anything.. Just popping in to read a little..
their words make war like swords
& love like….its the yin and yang
of taking up that pen eh?
thanks for taking time out of vacation
to drop in brother…and for all you do here..
enjoy those mountains…
Love the rhyme, Bjorn. Have fun! 🙂
smiles… glad you found the time to drop in and leave some verse for us
….and for reading….

My goodness, I got so used to the hiatus, I barely had the good sense to check over here late in the morning; & then in the tradition of all good poets, I had to kick my ass into hyperdrive to get something ready for when those hallowed Pub doors would open; but whew, made it. Have to go off to a rehearsal for my play soon, so will catch up to you all later this evening. Damn it is good to be back in the saddle again!
hows your play coming g?
def feels good to be back and running…
hey i wonder if things stretch in hyperdrive….like in star wars…if so, my ass might get a little smaller….um…ha…oh, see you this eve g…
smiles.. love that silverstein quote.. and cool ode to some special poets glenn
Happy Anniversary to each wonderful poet who frequents the pub and makes my life happier. Special thanks to Brian, Claudia and the team. I am so grateful we are still here, still reading, still writing and enjoying one another. I am off to read!
hey it takes a tribe doesnt it….smiles…
thanks for beign here yourself v…and all that you add….
yeah – i’m so thankful as well victoria
OH, and yeah, HAPPY THIRD ANNIVERSARY!!! I feel whole again, like I have been walking around in only one shoe, with no belt, no sense of direction; but all is better now, for the din from the Pub fills me with completeness & delight.
Ooops. The poem I posted today I thought was schedule for tomorrow…oh well–I have two up.
ha. you are good v….double the pleasure…
alright, running some errands….be back in a bit…
nice… thanks for holding down the fort while i was away..
hey, no sweat…the bunch isnt too rowdy yet…smiles.
heya – just walking into the door from communication training… smiles
on my way out on the trail to read now… here’s to all you wonderful poets!
thanks for expanding my view and for all your inspiration!
woot
Like YOU need communication training?!
smiles… i need it to save my marriage… i’m not that good in communicating as you may think…smiles
I so understand. It seems to be harder with those to whom we are closest, heh? Me too.
Bless you, Claudia! Thank you!
Well..’they’ say poetry can change the hearts and minds of culture..and in my view there are not many that fall ABOVE! the standard of change that the Beatle’s influenced in the the latter part of the 20th century..yes with the addition of musicK.. but the lyrics of poetry that is the core of their song..iN what truly setS them apart from the Herd of Minstrel poets in that day..of song..that is emerging as DANCE2!noW!
And hopefully.. the number of G rated photos employed.. will not annoy..but the post is developed before this prompt..and after 5 years of shut-in.. the mundane of my life is too much of a miracle NOT to celebrate for me..with or withOUT..an audience..:)
But any Poet without an audience..
Is inherently a sad thing…;)!
i think….
Off to stores with my wife..back to read and comment later..:)!
i deeply believe that poetry can change the heart and mind of a culture – and even more when combined with music… have fun on your trip to the stores..
alright – bedtime for me – will be back in the morning to read and catch up…
sleep well c….
Poets! Poets! Poetics
Such an amazing celebration this is. It is a day that reminds me I am not alone in the crowd – I am not secluded, reserved in my world – there is a much wider breathing space of poetry – so many amazing poets that I have come to know through their words – a connection, a bond that I feel is stronger than ties of blood – and all that arising from the magic of words.
To the poets! Cheers, Thanks for bringing me into Dverse Brian and Claudia. I have not been able to write much off late – but I know I belong here, right here.
yes, you do…hope you are doing well abhra…and that those words find you soon enough…smiles…happy anniversary!
I say; ask Claudia to make a water colour image as the heading of the dVerse web site. Then it will be outstanding.
i could not argue with that…
I will post soon. It’s great to see everyone here and in celebratory mood. Happy
Anniversary dVerse poets!
First I want to comment on the art presented here yesterday and today. Claudia, your art is not unlike your poetry – youthful in playful vivid color, full of character, sensitivity and truth, honesty and intimate and full of love. I think, too, it appeals
to the intellect. And Alison’s has similar qualities…both are great and in each I can just hear the voices in the background. Brava ladies!
a fellow sketcher
look for you in a bit kathy….
and i agree on claudias art….def full of life and love….
smiles… thank you fellow sketcher… i’ve seen your sketches on flickr and loved them…
oh my….I couldn’t believe I did that…had a brave streak that day…..am enjoying it and the group..am sure you are , too. and each has his or her own style…how we perceive things. and…I do believe I can improve. thanks claudia
I’m sorry I missed this comment before…thank you…I’m tying to lighten up my sketching/painting..they are mostly “over worked and worried” 😉 But your have your personality written all over them, which of course is brilliant, curious and vital!!
Glad you had a good trip in Scotland recently and now it’s almost fall..my goodness where does time go? It is Labor Day here and most are taking it easy..or working a second or third job…depending on circumstances 🙂 Have a good day.
Back home at last. Now I can join the party! Can’t wait to read you poems!!
woot….good evening gay….
Lovely to see you here Gay ~ Thank you for encouraging me to try forms ~ Its been a wonderful journey, smiles ~
Happy Anniversary and welcome back! Just back from a break myself and this is the first poem I posted after my break. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
hey, welcome back…
just in time…be in NYC next week….
Cool Brian, I can meet you for coffee on my lunch hour sometimes next week if you want. Drop me a note in my personal email and let me know what works for you. Not sure where in NYC you will be and hope it’s close enough to my office so I can get there. Smiles 🙂
not sure which days we will be in the city…but i will email you….we will be all over the place…so we can see what we can make work..ha
Happy Year Three to all the staff and poets at the pub.
thank you joy…
and thank you for the time you invested here as well….
Well, I have had a busy day here….but my poem is finally finished. I truly believe in celebrating all the ‘unknown poets’ who make this pub, as well as some other online spaces, such wonderful places to be. I salute all, as we celebrate the third anniversary of dVerse! Onward.
glad you made it…and hope you had fun with the grands today….
i agree…many of my poets will never have names that grace the shelves of the big box book retailers…but their words are all the more priceless….
Mary! i was missing you already yesterday… off to read in a minute…
Good evening, everyone! Happy anniversary to all of you. Thanks to the team for making dVerse the wonderful place it is.
thank you gabriella…for all you do, here and elsewhere in the poetic community.

good morning….caught up myself…and will be around throughout the day as i get a few things ready for vacation next week….
