Twelve years of poetry has come to pass
writing words from the depths of our hearts
every thought counted, no matter the form
lyrical songs waltzed across the pages
verses pulsated with enchantment and despair
every poem a creative gift; a work of art


written for dVerse
Lisa is hosting and dVerse is celebrating 12 years of poetry writing a quadrille of 44 words incorporating the word "Twelve"

To the dVerse staff - Thank you!

  3. Truedessa, you've articulated what makes the poet's pub so precious, the validation to and from each other of our feelings as we pour ourselves onto the page. Thank you for your wonderful poem

  4. We write so much more in a community of other poets than we would have on our own. The online poetry community has been such a blessing in my life.

  5. Your ‘Twelve Thoughts’ is a delightful tribute to the dVerse Poets Pub and sums up how we feel about our poetic community. I’ve been taking part in the pub prompts for about nine years and know that I have written hundreds of poems. I can’t imagine how many we have written altogether.
