Hi everyone!   Grace here hosting Open Link Night, which serves as an opportunity for us to link ONE poem of our choice for our reading pleasure.  For those who missed the Mr Linky deadline the past week or this Tuesday’s poetics, this is also your opportunity to share your poem.  We would appreciate those linking up to include a link to dVerse as a courtesy.

There is no specific form or theme required for OLN but if you are looking for a little inspiration, here is an optional mini prompt:

The Sleeping Gypsy by Michele Wolf

In the heat of her dream, she hears
The iron kettle boiling, its scuttle and hum
As hurried as hoofbeats across a plain.

Read the full poem here.

The writing challenge:
1. Use the image above as a muse for your poem. Write an ekphrastic poem.
2. Or use the title of the image as a title or part of your poem: The Sleeping Gypsy
