dVerse Poets


Welcome, everyone. Dora here from Dreams from a Pilgrimage to invite you to join us in writing for Prosery Monday. Prosery is unique to dVerse in that we incorporate a given line of poetry without any alteration, except in punctuation, into our 144 words (or less) of prose.

Blue shiny fabric caught the sunlight as Sara twisted to and fro in front of the mirror. It was her first dance, her first time at an event without her parents, and lost no significance in her mind. She had dreamed of it, written diary entries about it and unbelievably, the night was almost here. She let the fabric move to show it at its most beautiful, and the iridescent image swims through a mirror that flows. Her grandmother had helped her choose this fabric, telling Sara the blue echoed her beautiful blue eyes. Sara saw it for herself, swaying in the sparkling sun’s rays. Sara’s grandmother seemed nostalgic with a dream of her own in mind, or a dear memory.

dVerse Poets Quadrille

As you may have guessed, today’s word is protest. Write a poem of exactly 44 words including the word protest. You can write about a protest you were apart of, or why you think protests are of no use. You can take inspiration from, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks””(spoken by Queen Gertrude, in Act 3, scene 2 of Hamlet by William Shakespeare)

  • If you are new to dVerse,write a poem of 44 words only (excluding the title) on your blog.

  • Mr. Linky will be open till 29thAug 2.00 p.m.
  • Do come back later to read other entries, after all we are hereto encourage each other.
  • Tag dVerse in your post, so that your readers can find us.

Have fun!

Join us please in the protest

remember to bring only your best

signs of discord

we can’t afford

to get too sharp, they don’t like pointed

or anything too disjointed.

Their brains hardly recognize words

One of the reasons their ideas are absurd!

Glaborus glacé on that piece, Gloria! Thanks, I always try to put a glacial touch on my work, just as a reminder. I’m a glaciologist, and it’s the main theme of any my geological entries. I’m glad you like it! It really gladdens my heart when my work makes an imprint. I added the gladioli to attract other natural beauty lovers. See you later Gladstone, I’m meeting at the Veggies4all lunch counter!
