Your Turn to Shine

They open the doors at precisely 3:00 pm

there is always a bartender ready to greet

offering you a chance to present your gem

slowly poets enter, there is always a seat

Some prefer the comfort of sitting at the bar

twirling their thoughts straight up on the rocks

enjoying conversations about the moon & stars

who will take the mic,  open verse on the block

Sitting at a round table discussing knight  tales

mysteries of life, traveling different realms

pirates abound, on their ship they do sail

shadowy figures,  dance behind giant elms

A musician sits at the piano, playing a tune

composing a melody, writing a poetic song

heads begin to  swoon, could it be a full moon

laughter fills the air, the guests sing-a-long

We gather to share our hopes and dreams

to have our voice heard,  to listening ears

swept away by verses, an overflowing stream

toasting the pub for 3 years a hearty cheer

writing for dVerse celebrating 3 years..
I missed the Ode to but, this is sort of
an ode to dVerse as well. Thank you
for all you do..this place has paved
the way to many adventures upon the
seas..
