Hello all,
I think you know the drill by now, we will be live for the first hour of the bar. Just link up one of your poems, connect to the video meeting, and meet your fellow poets for real.
We will call you to read (if you want) but if you just want to join us to listen you are very welcome.
I will record the session and post it to our YouTube channel and also link the session below.
Isn’t it amazing that we have been living with these restrictions for a year by now. For me work has been going on as usual but from home. We cook our food and bake our bread, we are getting new habits, some of this is actually better, but I do miss other things of my past life.
Tell me what you want to keep from these pandemic living and what you miss the most.
As usual I hope you will take the time and read and comment on the poet by visiting your fellow poets that have linked up on Mr Linky.

Hello all… we will be starting the poetry pub live in a few minutes. Just link up an I will open up at a quarter past.
oK 🙂
Is a code required to join meeting? I can’t get in…
I have to admit you in… and you were quicker than me.
Hi Bjorn, I have a special guest, my son Benji, joining me tonight! He will not stay on for all of the readings as some of the poems (including mine) are not suitable for children. But he has written a poem especially for dVerse!
It was fantastic to meet Benji… It was lovely
Thank you Bjorn!
When I linked up, I accidentally put my name as Revived Writer #2. The #2 shouldn’t be there, sorry.
No problem … It would have been great to have you on the live edition.
Thank you all who joined live… I think the recording turned out really well…. but my PC is on the limit of not managing to participate and record at the same time.
It is a wonderful idea to link up visually. Afraid am too late but have been inspired to post based on the seguidilla form last week. I would love to see the you tube. Is there a link?
I have added the video to the prompt… and we will have the next session in April
Great, have seen it now and loved listening to the poems being read. An array of fantastic voices.
How wonderful to see faces and hear voices in real time! Someday I may get the opportunity.
I hope you do… we might have to find some other times… but it’s hard for a timezone for everyone.
Wow, all of you on the video, that was like being at an open mike poetry evening, almost in person and to put faces and voices to all of you, most I have read some of your poems but this was in some ways much more intimate and powerful. I guess poetry does work as spoken word. So much honest sharing. Thank you all so much.
I think it does bring us closer… poetry is meant to be shared like this.
Missed it again. My perfect record remains unblemished.
Hello … you will make it one day.
Hi all! Thanks for hosting, Bjorn. I tried to join today as well as a couple months ago. My video/audio seems to be working but I cannot get in! Perhaps I join too late here in Central Standard Time?
We always open at 3 PM EST which should be 2 PM CST…. I try to put it as an event on our Facebook page so it cannot be missed.
Ok, thanks Bjorn 🙂
Hello Bjorn and All. Will be watching the live event in a minute here. Just wanted to say your sourdough bread looks marvelous!
I agree!
It tastes good as well.
I am sorry to have missed the live event. I hope to join in next time. Looking forward to reading the poems others have shared.

I hope you can join and read a poem one day… I try to create events that are visible in advance …
It wasn’t your fault. I was being disorganized last week. I hope to make the next one. This is a great community.
So nice to put faces to names! Thanks to Bjorn for the effort of setting this up.
It is nice to meet everyone face to face…
The recording was marvelous …. I joined a second St. Patrick’s Day celebration this afternoon //// see you next time!
Thank you,,, we had fun recording it.
Happy Open Link, One of these days I may make one of these – it’s hard to do as I work.
I hope you will do that… maybe I will need to set up an event at another time (say on a weekend)
I like working from home; I miss being able to go out to cafes.
Thanks for hosting, Björn!
Sincerely,
David
I do like to work from home as well, but I would not mind going to the office just a little.
Thanks for posting the recording, Bjorn. Enjoyed everyone’s readings!
I will try to do something with the dVerse Youtube channel…
I’m late to this party, but I’ve never been one to shy away from day drinking. I’ve composed a limerick for your enjoyment.
Limericks are fun… I find them hard to master actually
I just finished listening to the live presentation and enjoyed it very much. It was clear and the recording came out well. Great poems and interesting conversation. I enjoyed the young man who read at the beginning as well.

I think this was the best recording so far. We have become better in doing it together… and the recording is improving each time.
Yes, I agree! There are mush less distortions.
I’m sorry. I just hafta: Bjorn, why does your sour dough have post its all over it? j/k Can’t wait to see what everyone’s added. Thanks for hosting!
Ha… I am playing around with different scoring techniques… this was just a crisscross pattern… the white is rice flour.
looks like i have reading to catch up on. sorry that i could not make the livee bit on the night. i was at the live zoom launch of a anthology which contains my first printed piece. will check video out first
How exciting, doing anthologies is a lot of fun… I have been part of a few.
