Hello all,
Björn and Sanaa here.
Today we are running live for the first 2 hours of the bar or so. If you want to join to read just link up, and you will be called to read in the order you link up.
If you don’t want to read that’s OK as well and you can just listen.
This time I will record the event and post the video here once I have edited it a little. If you don’t want your reading to be included just tell me.
A few words of advice:
We are using Google Meet, which means that you should be able to click on the link and run it in the browser, but if that doesn’t work download the app and run it on your smartphone or tablet.
I recommend that you use a headset for the best experience, and please mute your microphone when you are not talking.
So just link up one poem below (as usual)
Then bring something to drink then click below to join:
I look forward to see you
And of course browse around and read just as usual.
For everyone here is the recording. I had hoped to edit it a little but I didn’t have the time.

The bar will open in 12 hours… I made an error when scheduling this
I’m running a little late. Will join shortly!
Hope to see you soon! 🙂
It’s a gloomy day, and I am missing my wife, who’s back in Ohio visiting her family — so I posted a poem I wrote a decade ago, almost to the day. It is about returning home on a beautiful day.
Loved hearing you read your poem during the LIVE event 🙂 it was beautifully poignant.
Posted a poem, composed it in a rush. Out the door now, back in a few for the live hook-up. Cheers.
Hope to see you soon, Helen! 🙂
Welcome to live open link night, everyone! It’s a lovely cold October evening here 🙂 we have Pumpkin Spice White Russian, Washington Appletini, Cream cheese pound cake or if you prefer we also have coffee with mocha scones.
Hello Bjorn and All. It was a lot of fun seeing and hearing all who were there at the live reading. Thank you, Bjorn and Sanaa, for your technical assistance. Sipping coffee and about to head out for the poetry trail. Have a great weekend everybody!
Coffee and mocha scones for you, Lisa! 🙂 Yes it was fantastic!
Thank you very much for your kind offering. Cheers!
Cheers! 💝
Thank you, Bjorn and Sanaa! SO FUN to see everyone and hear you read your poems. For me….it’s next best thing to opening a real pub that we can all walk in to, have a drink, and just chat! Thank you, all my dVerse friends!!! Have a wonderful weekend and see you at Quadrille Monday!
I absolutely agree, Lillian 😀 I am so grateful that Bjorn organizes and hosts these Live events. It’s a joy to see and hear everyone read. Looking forward to Quadrille Monday!
See you later and so nice to see you all.
It was great to see some of you today. Thanks to Bjorn for setting this up. I am not sure why my sound did not work. I will try a different laptop next time.
If you can get hold of a headset it would be great I think… if you want to I can set up a soundcheck with you separately.
That would be great. I was able to hear all of you just fine. Not sure about why the mic did not work. It was on as you could see, but no sound. Does a head set change the use of the microphone. I have a head set that I can use.
And thanks to Sanaa as well! My omission! Sorry.
You’re most welcome, Dwight 🙂 I hope you enjoyed tonight and are able to get hold of a headset next time.
I could hear all of you just fine. Just that the mic did not pick up. It was great!
Wonderful! I hope the mic cooperates next time 🙂 and that we can hear you read. 💝
That would be great!
Arrived too late, Pub door locked.
Pub door is open 🙂 please join in for poetry.. I have a menu ready as well!
The open mic event was only open for the first part … now it’s as usual….
Thanks, for a while there I thought no one wanted to see me. LOL
Next time it would be great to see you 🙂
It was fun to see and hear so many today. Ricky the Cat loved it, too! 😀
Yayy! Yes it certainly was 🙂 It was great to see and hear you read, Merril! 💝
😘
Also, it’s fun to hear the different voices and accents.
Oh yes 🙂 it amazes me sometimes when I realize there are so many people and that too from different places! We are international and oh so popular! 💝
Well that was a blast. Now I gotta go read & swoon.
I’m sorry I missed the live pub…tried to join but I’m afraid event was over…just call me “late lynn” – ha! Perhaps next time 🙂
It will be one next month too I hope…
I will look forward to it!
I love live Open Link Nights! So lovely to see everyone. I just need to get the correct time and the correct link…
I agree, it’s so refreshing to be amongst poets and that too Live! 💝 Loved your poem 🙂
I will make sure that we send it out in due time…
So sorry I missed your Google Meet 😕 I’m sure it was fun!
We will do it again… I will make sure that we book the even from the Facebook page …
sorry i did not make the google meet . hope it went well
It did. Hope to see you next time! 💝
ok so I took my timing from your post … please humour me and tell me what time these events are scheduled for in Sydney time please Bjorn?
I had a problem as well and I am on the West Coast of the US …. tried my best to enter, door locked. LOL Cheers. I loved reading yours online.
thanks Helen, they kept me waiting so long I left …
@calmkate; Sydney is 16 hours ahead of EST. Open link night starts at 3pm EST.
aha so 7am my time, thanks Sanaa, much appreciated!
And we will only have one hour session. If this turns out to be very popular we will extend this to several sessions.
Hello all! Hope you all are doing well. Drat on missing the live open mike, work ran too late. I’d love to hear your voices, and see if the align with what I’ve imagined you all sound like!

We missed you too! Hope you can join us next time 💝
Sorry to miss the live readings. I will try again next month.
Hope to see you next month 🙂 Loved your poem, Ali 💝
Could I ask you to post a time for these? I can’t figure it out and keep missing it.
We begin at 3pm EST 🙂
I have tried to post the time properly in the facebook group. If you go there you will have it in your calender.
I can try to creat a calener event so you don’t miss it.
I want to take a minute to simply say this is a group of writers who never cease to amaze, inspire. And thank you.
Thank you! 💝
Thank you Helen
Next time it’s Thanksgiving in the US but I hope that some of you will attend anyway (especially if there is continued lockdown we can celwbrate a bit together.
