d’Verse is taking a break for the holidays so there won’t be any prompts for a while…
So I’ll 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 d’Verse satisfies my creative curiosity more than well enough – and I don’t 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 🙂
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!!
❤
David, I loved every one of these incredible poems! ❤ For once, I have no favorite. Every one is a gem! 🙂
💎+💎+💎+💎+💎+💎=💓
Wow! They’re all incredible!! I think I liked Words-Reality and Writer-Reader the most! Merry Christmas Eve!✨
Thanks, D.!
Thanks so much for sharing your Christmas spirit 🙂
(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 🙂
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.

Reblogged this on Nelson MCBS.
You are a diamantaire, David!!!
Thx, Kaushal!
A gem of a poem!! 💎💎💎💎
I see 👀 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.

Wow! Such brilliant usage of words. I loved everyone of them.❤️
I attempted a diamante few months back and posted it in WP too…😇
