OLN LIVE????
Poets from around the globe chat and read aloud a poem of their choice. Come to read a poem OR to watch and listen. The more the merrier! We’re a friendly bunch and it’s fun to see everyone gathered at the pub!
I’ll be hosting from San Diego, California. We’re here for two months, escaping Boston’s snow and frigid weather. Hurrah for sunshine!
OLN???? OLN means all are invited to post 1 poem of their choice: no prompt, no required topic or form.
NEW TO D’VERSE???? Need to be refreshed on the rules?
HERE’S WHAT TO DO:
- Write a poem of your choice. No required prompt or form.
- Post the poem to your blog AND add the exact URL for your poem to Mr. Linky below.
- REMEMBER to either TAG dVerse in your post, or include a link at the end of your poem that leads readers back to dVerse (https://dversepoets.com).
- If you do not TAG dVerse or refer people back to dVerse, I will gently comment reminding you to do so. This is how you increase your readers and increase participation in dVerse. If you do not comply, sadly I will have to remove your post from Mr. Linky. I don’t want to do that! So please, do refer readers back to OLN at dVerse.

Hello, we are all live now.
Everyone enjoy the live poetry party! I don’t have the tech or the ability, myself, but it’s a wonderful feature for those who do. I am just linking on the fly, and will be by to visit and comment tomorrow. Thanks for this opportunity to share.
Hello Hedge… it should work if you just click the link… it should work on most computers.
Ooooh….February 17 is our next OLN LIVE. Always runs from 3 to 4, Eastern time zone, Boston time. Mark it in your calendar…and just try linking on the link and see if you get in. It’s really easy and we have folks from across the globe so give it a try. Hit the link and if it works, hurrah! If not, you’ll know for sure that you can’t do it. But do give it a try on February 17th….we’d love to see you there!
I’m sitting in the carpool line getting my son, but I’ll be on reading later tonight! ❣️
Good to see you Tricia!
💓
hopefully one day i can join at the beginning!
Not to worry, Eric! Just glad to have you join us and delighted to hear your read!
Thank you for hosting, Lillian! It was fun seeing people and hearing them read. I’ve linked mine now.
YAY~ loved seeing you at OLN LIVE. I’m back on now to do some reading. I went and sat out in the sun after LIVE. Always fun to see who comes! 🙂
It is fun to see people live.
We had rain, then snow flurries here yesterday–then the temperature dropped. It’s about 15 F now with wind. Enjoy that sun!😀
Well those were FABULOUS poems read live, and I learnt a lot…was really inspired..
And so great to hear you read…
LOVED seeing you at OLN LIVE and wonderful to hear you read and make astute and supportive comments on other readers!! YAY! Come OFTEN!!!
Hello everyone! What a fabulous LIVE session! We finished in time so the 4 PM link will not work as we are done. BUT, if you didn’t make it this time to OLN LIVE, do consider joining us next month. We always have some folks who choose to just join us and listen and watch which is absolutely fine! And next month, we’ll do things a bit differently and folks can either read a poem of their own, or a poem of someone else.
I’m leaving the pub for a bit to sit out in the San Diego sunshine! I’ll be back this evening to read, as well as tomorrow!!!
hi all hope the live went well just quick flying visit to drop of an older poem of mine. my local group say hi to their international cousins. bath time see you all for a read in the morning
rog
Hope you enjoyed your bath! We missed you at OLN LIVE! Next time! Mark February 17 in your calendar and we’ll see you then!
Sorry i an not going to make that one as it is my daughters 21st have fun
A daughter’s birthday….much more important! Enjo!
Oh! So sad to miss this! I will have to make sure to have it in my calendar for next month! Will be reading the links though!
Oh yes, do come next time. Mark February 17 on your calendar. Our next LIVE OLN and it always runs from 3 to 4 PM, Eastern time zone. Will be great to see you there!
Hello all. I have linked a short, new, poem.
Short, long, in-between…just glad to see you here! 🙂
Thanks again for another great night at the pub! Cheers!
Oh yes…..there’s always a lively bunch at the pub! 🙂
Lil, an incident last night required I had to get an Echocardiogram done today, so I was in the hospital today. Hope it was a great session, and, if all things allow, I will be at OLN Live next month 🤞🏼. In February, it will occur the day before my 75th birthday. 🙂
I am posting from the hospital. It is a poem from 11 years that I came across this week and wanted to share. You may recognize a few names in the comment section from 2011.
How are you doing? Sending healing thoughts your way.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh Rob…so sorry to hear this. I think you know my husband (now of almost 52 years) had a 6 minute cardiac arrest on October 14, 2013. We are truly thankful for every day and so thankful for modern medicine. OLN LIVE was lots of fun but we missed you. Hoping you are out of the hospital tomorrow with everything stabilized. Mind the drs and take care of yourself. Can you feel the positive energy I’m sending your way? HUGS from San Diego (am escaping the Boston winter here until March 9) XXOO
Thanks for hosting Lillian. (K)
My pleasure! Always love to tend the pub at dVerse. Good to see you here!
Thank you for hosting, Lillian! So sorry to miss the live part again. One of these days I’ll retire and get to see everyone in person (March 15, 2026. I’m counting down). Hope you had a great meet!
Oh yes…..counting down to rejuvenatement (never say retirement) is a very good thing to do! It really is fun to see everyone’s face and hear them read a poem. I know you’d enjoy it! 🙂 Good to see you here…:)
Hi Lillian. Thanks for hosting but sadly I missed the live readings. I am never available at that time unfortunately but I’m hoping one Thursday i can make it happen 💕☺️
I hope so too! Always good to see your posts here at the pub!
Sandiago looks like a great place away from the ice and snow! Sorry I missed the live meeting. I was working this afternoon. Thanks for hosting Lillian.
Would they be able to alternate Thursdays and Wednesdays for the live meeting? Then I could participate.
hmmmm….I’ll ask Bjorn about that alternating idea. Good to see you here at the pub though.
Thank you!
At last…I’m back to present my poem for Open Link Night, it’s great to be here! I’d love a cranberry juice, anytime! Gonna do some reading now… 🙂
I’ve been away from the pub a bit…enjoying this San Diego sun…Cranberry juice coming up right now! 🙂 Good to see you here today.
Hello Lillian, Thanks for hosting! I can’t join the live session cuz it takes place at 1:30 am IST, I don’t stay up that late in the night. I’ve linked up a poem (which is a short story in verses) I hope you’d enjoy it. ~Jay
Well………….I don’t think I’d be doing LIVE if it was at 1:30 AM my time either! But always glad to see your posts here at the pub! 🙂
Hi Lillian. Wonderful to know the live session was fun. Is there a recording of it?
Sharing a poem I posted just a while ago. Will catch up with reading in the evening.
Sometimes Bjorn records it….but I don’t think his equipment was working this time to do it. Good to see you here 🙂
Oh, okay. Good to be here. 🙂
Thanks Lillian for hosting OLN. Glad to know the live session went well. 🙂
It did indeed! So fun to actually see people!!! 🙂
I would love to see a recording g of the live session. Is rha5 possible Lillian?
I’ll email Bjorn and ask if he got it recorded. I think he was having trouble with his equipment this time though. But I’ll check.
