WHAT IS OLN and OLN LIVE?
OLN is Open Link Night: an opportunity to post any one poem of your choosing on Mr. Linky below. There is no required form, length, or topic. So even if you choose not to join us in the live session, I do hope you’ll share a poem of your choice so we can read it at our leisure over the next few days.
OLN LIVE is Open Link Night LIVE which involves the same process EXCEPT we invite you to meet poets from around the globe by signing into a LIVE session, complete with video and audio. Folks can read aloud one poem of their choosing to the group tuned in. You can read the poem you posted to Mr. Linky below or a different one OR you can just come to sit in and listen.
Because of popular demand, we now offer OLN LIVE once a month on Saturday as well as Thursday which means we can be more inclusive of the many time zones around the globe. Join us at one session or both. The more the merrier! Read the same poem at both sessions; read at one and listen at the other; or read one poem on Thursday and a different poem on Saturday. Please note however, you may still post only one poem at Mr. Linky below. And of course, if, for whatever reason, you choose not to join us live, as I mentioned above, you may still share a poem on Mr. Linky below.
I’m hosting from our high-rise condo right in the center of Boston. If it takes a few moments for me to “let you in” to the live session, please be patient. Be sure you’ve connected on the right day’s link above, and then know, I’ll be there as quickly as possible to let you in. Sometimes the internet connection can be a bit finnicky.
I look forward to reading your poem posted to Mr. Linky below the photo, and hopefully seeing you at one or both of our LIVE sessions!
And since I know many of you are involved in NAPOWRIMO, which can get a bit hectic and demanding at this point in the month, here’s a lovely photo of the Japanese garden in San Diego’s Balboa Park. We were there in February and it is truly a place of serenity.

Hello… I am already inside waiting 🙂
let me in ❤
So good to have you join us LIVE today!
Thanks ❤
Dare I say that it was good to be had? 😉

Hello All!
What a wonderful LIVE session we had with folks from Kenya, Sweden, Jerusalem, Pakistan, Canada and the US! For those of you who didn’t make it to our LIVE session today, hope to see you on Saturday!
Looking forward to reading your poems on Mr. Linky….Pub will be open 24/7 to celebrate the coming of spring to Boston!
One day I will be able to join you live Lillian. Even with two days I can’tfit it in my schedule. So sorry 😕
It’s okay, Christine….just so good to see you here at dVerse.
Hi, Lillian. Thank you for hosting! I’ve submitted my poem and now I’m off to read all the entries.
Excellent! Hope to see you at OLN LIVE on Saturday!
Something has come up, so I won’t be able to join you all this time, sadly.
We’ll miss you. Maybe next time?
Yes, surely!
Someday I wish to join you live on OLN. Until then, I’ll have to do with just linking up my poems virtually. Thanks for hosting, Lillian. 🙂
We’ll look forward to that day, but in the meantime, just delighted to have you hook up with Mr. Linky!
Yay!!! Thank you , Lillian. 🙂
Just hopping by with some song thrush thoughts on Mr Linky. Spring joy to each and all, and thank you for hosting, Lilian!
Good to see you here. I’m always delighted to host!
Thank you for hosting yesterday Lil. Sorry it took me until today to acknowledge your efforts. Right now I am waiting for Kathy to get out of surgery. Been 4-1/2 hours. 🙏🏽
I pray everything goes well. Know that many at dVerse are thinking about you and Kathy….the waiting always seems so interminable. Am hoping for very positive news….and perhaps you can simply stop by at OLN LIVE today to let us know…a brief appearance? Or send me an email to let me know. Sending many many hugs your way, my friend.
