TODAY
Post one poem of your choosing on Mr. Linky below. Any topic; any form; any length. That’s why we call it OPEN Link Night.
OR
Post one poem on Mr. Linky below, that follows this optional ekphrastic prompt: write a poem inspired by Photo 1 or Photo 2, shown below.

I look forward to reading your poem posted to Mr. Linky, AND, hopefully, seeing you at dVerse LIVE on Saturday!
New to dVerse? Need to be refreshed on the rules?
Here’s what to do:
- Write one poem of your choosing, no required topic/form/length OR write one poem inspired by one of the above photos.
- 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 or include a link to dVerse at the end of your post, I will gently remind you to do so. After all, this will increase your readership and comments, and others will find dVerse and hopefully join in the fun. If you do not add the TAG or link after my reminder, I will remove your post from Mr. Linky. I do not want to do that! So please do include the TAG or link!

Good evening everyone, and thanks to Lill for hosting. I’m going to link up and run, but will be back in the morning to read and comment, and on Saturday for the live edition.
See you in the morning and on Saturday!
Hello dVersers! So good to be here for OLN and most especially, to host our LIVE session on Saturday morning! I hope many of you will join us. It really is fun to connect faces and voices with the names of folks we’ve been reading here! The more the merrier!
Looking forward to reading all your posts today and over the next few days. Just put one poem up on Mr. Linky. And if you come to Saturday’s LIVE session, you can read that poem, or any one of your choosing OR just sit in to listen.

Love the images! I’m ready to walk!
So glad you like my photos! And glad you’re here!
Good afternoon, Poets! Thanks for hosting, Lillian! Keep the Burgundy coming, please! 😉
Continuous stream of burgandy coming your way, Frank! Good to see you here tonight!
Hi Lillian! A nice cold white for me! Been starting and discarding a lot of poems last couple weeks, but this one made it through!
Cole white coming up! Good to see you here!
Leaving the pub for the evening folks. But as usual, the key is under the potted plant to the right of the door. Please come on in and help yourself to the lemon bars I left on the bar….and the pitchers of sangria and spiked lemonade as well. All I ask is that you leave a poem to cover the bar bell, and replace the key so others may find it tonight. I’ll be back in the morning to read…..and will be offering strong coffee with lemon ginger muffins to wake you up!
Hello Lillian and All. Late to the party but here. Listening to the blessed rain patter and giving thanks for it. I’ll snag a couple of those lemon bars to eat with my mug of peppermint-rooibos tea.
LOVE the sound of rain! Late to the party is always fine at the pub!
🙂 The morning was filled with the grumble of thunder which may inspire another poem.
Thank you for hosting Lil… 👍🏼 I pulled out an old one of mine from 13 years ago. Created a brand new piece of art, and added music. It fits my mood. ✌🏼🫶🏼
Good to see you here, Rob! I’ll be popping over to start reading in just a few minutes. Hope to see you Saturday?
Also late to the party but hoping to catch the live meet tomorrow…
I posted the latest piece to come out of my writing group.
Late to the party is always okay at the pub – just glad to find your note this morning. Will be popping over to read in a minute….and will be good to see you on Saturday!
Many thanks for hosting Lillian.
Always happy to mind the pub!
Hi Everyone, and thank you for hosting, Lillian. I just posted, and I’ll come back to read later. I probably won’t be able to make it on Saturday.
Good to see you here, Merril. We’ll miss you tomorrow but do understand. 🙂
So sorry I won’t be able to make it tomorrow, but enjoy!
It should be a good crowd. Maybe another time?
Thanks to all who joined dVerse LIVE today! We had folks from Pakistan, the UK, South Africa, Australia and the US. A wonderful group as always. If you couldn’t make it today, we have LIVE sessions every month. Hope you’ll join us in the future.
Thanks for hosting a wonderful meeting, Lillian.
Thank you for hosting, Lillian. 🙂
Always happy to tend the pub!
