D’verse poets are beautiful people
Supportive and encouraging,
I could litanise but
I’d be bound to leave one out.
They eat and drink copiously
Rejoice in each other’s work
For they love to commune.
They sway in poetic rhythms
Glory in challenging our thinking.
They enjoy taking on an argument
Expanding an idea
Discussing points of view.
Their keyboard is both
Best friend and enemy
A love/hate relationship
Playing with words
Seeking versions of perfection
They craft, refine, edit,
Construct conceits
Shape meaning
Entice debate
Savour an argument
Pique your interest
Throw in metaphors
Assorted literary devices
In a devilish number
Of stanza and verse.
You have to love a person
Capable of that.
Today I wrap myself
In the harvest of words
I find in the d’verse pub.
