dโVerse is taking a break for the holidays so there wonโt be any prompts for a whileโฆ
So Iโll be trying out a few new forms with prompts born of my mind instead!
I considered the idea of responding to prompts from other groups, but dโVerse satisfies my creative curiosity more than well enough โ and I donโt want to spend all of my time responding to poetry prompts.

Wow! you did a great job! Your diamond poems are shining gems!!
Dwight
Thanks, Dwight ๐
On the one hand, they’re simple to write… on the other hand, every word counts, which makes me think about which ones I want to use!
-David
I love it! Just like writing Haiku. Every word counts!!

Thanks, D.!
Thanks so much for sharing your Christmas spirit ๐
(Sadly Chanukah is already behind us!)
Sincerely,
David
I like them all, but perhaps “writer~reader” is my favorite. Well, I hope you enjoy the holidays with your loved ones.
I’m glad you’ve selected your gem, Angela ๐
I felt like going on and on, but six felt like a reasonable place to stop.
Thank you,
David
I think you have been generous, and given everyone something they relate to.

You are a diamantaire, David!!!
Thx, Kaushal!
A gem of a poem!! ๐๐๐๐
I see ๐ what you did there!

Small, glittering, extremely precious gems,
Diamonds in the rough (common euphoric expression for underlying brilliance)
Rocks, crystal and clear,
Rhinestone sequins, an impressive array of diamante –
Woven reflections, penned on a poet’s blank designer page.
In preparation for distinctly ornated and embellished literary garments
Originals, Coming our way.
