invitation to
a poets’ party
yes, i’ll come!
where? what
better place than
Boboli’s garden;
grounds of the
Pitti Palace, in
fair Florence,
heart of the
renaissance.
hanging out
at “the Pub”,
d’Verse Poets,
is part of my
personal poetic
renaissance;
fair garden of
wordsmiths,
each statuesque,
monumental in
creative voice.
here i can
find “The (an)
Abundance” of
poetic ideas,
original online
fruits of writers
dedicated to
sculpting marble
thoughts into words
to share veritable
bounty of beauty.
raise your hand
clink the glass
give a toast (of
bronze wheat,
golden corn or
ripened vine)
to salute the
“pub tenders”,
party hosts who
serve all a happy
3rd anniversary!

To us – long life, good health and cheers mates! Three years plus one at OneStop = it’s been quite a ride. Here’s to more and more successes for all our poets!

(glass raised…air-clink) Cheers! I agree writing poetry can be just like sculpting the perfect scene … just with words.

Hear hear! That abundance of poetic ideas you speak of so eloquently here is exactly what inspires me to be in your company. Wonderful to be celebrating through verse, especially this one.

Abundance is an underused word and fits nicely in this ode to our community. Well done….

Isn’t it true? dVerse is a renaissance-kind of place. Wish I could be there, at those gardens, too! Literally, that is.

smiles… i’m looking forward to that party…and what a beautiful place as well… though as long as there are poets around every place is a good place…smiles
the lady with whom i stayed in london had a poem on the toilet wall – and when i read that poem (and it was a good one) i felt a bit at home..smiles
