Like a sweaty mosh pit?
Well no,
that’s not it,
exactly.
Like a rave?
With neon rainbows and ecstasy?
Nope, not that
either.
Something a lot more classy—
or less,
depending on what’s
on their minds.
Oh I get it,
like classic
rock ‘n’ roll.
Hmm…that’s good, too—
but no, it’s more
than that,
more like
a symphony
of nations, tribes
and tongues—
listening
to each other,
tasting
what they have to
offer,
learning
there are many ways
to rant/dance/bleed/fly.
Yes, yes
that’s more like it.
But
you can still
bring your Bic
lighter
and bang your head
in the glow
if you want to.
Because whatever your
preference,
they’re playing your
song.

Bring your crumpled
paper, your scribbled on napkins, your laptops, your tablets for the dVerse Poets Pub 3rd Anniversary Celebration!
Brian and Claudia and the whole staff open the doors and invite any
poet, anywhere to share their voice and to listen in. I’m sure I join others in saying that I owe
them a debt of gratitude for all the work and love they put into keeping the
Pub going. And to all the poets who
gather there, you have enriched, enlightened, inspired—thank you for sharing
your words. Meet you there!
