——————————————————————————————–——————-

TODAY is OLN (Open Link Night) at dVerse, the virtual pub for poets around the globe. That normally means you can post one poem of your choice at Mr. Linky below (no required topic, format, or length) OR use the OPTIONAL prompt today and write an ekphrastic poem using one of the images below. Images are in public domain so simply give credit by indicating “Image from Pixabay.com”. Your poem should be motivated by the image. HOWEVER, with the deadline approaching for our 15th anniversary anthology, today, you have the option of posting a maximum of THREE poems.

AND, YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN US LIVE with audio and video on Saturday, June 21st from 10 to 11 AM Boston time! Come and read a poem of your choosing or simply come to sit in and enjoy. All poems and conversation are in English. We’ve had folks join us from Australia, Germany, India, Kenya, Pakistan, South Africa, Sweden, Trinidad Tobago, the UK, and across the US. The more the merrier! We’re a very friendly bunch!

New to dVerse?  Need to be refreshed on the rules?

Here’s what to do:

  • Write a poem of your choosing (no required topic, format, or length) OR choose the OPTIONAL prompt and write a poem inspired by ONE of the images above. Give credit to the image by simply stating, “Image from Pixabay.com”. OR, given the deadline for our 15th anniversary anthology is fast approaching, for this particular OLN, you may post a total of three poems.
  • 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!
