You gave me acceptance when I was uncertain
You gave me community when I felt alone
You gave me creativity when I was blank
You gave me a big, wide world of
dversity
Value
Expression
Rebellion
Support
Exuberance
What more could a poet want?
Happy 3rd Birthday to dVerse Poets Pub! dVerse has been a great source of inspiration for me with a great network of very supportive poets. They’re celebrating with a Poets Ball so why not hop on over there and visit a while?

a community of poets – it is so important… i started writing when onestoppoetry just started off – and i don’t know if ihad the courage if there weren’t such supporting and encouraging poets around

You’re not alone, Anthony. I’ve been reading and writing poetry since I was nine. I just have more time to enjoy it now after many years of too much to do!

ZouxZoux – how cool is that name. You are EXACTLY right – we are here to serve you and it’s our pleasure to do so with forms, prompts, contests, camaraderie, through writing our histories, our stories, our imagination, our secrets, our desires, our loves, our passions, our anger, our pride, and our shame. We know if we can open up, the shyest Amelie among us can too. We’re so glad you’re here and we hope you enjoy it!

We tend to live and write in seclusion, but to share in a community is what brings us affirmation and acceptance. Nicely put, Charlotte!
