Written for dVerse Poets 3rd Anniversary!
Writing and sharing with this group has always motivated me to write more than I could have ever thought possible. I have made so many friends from all over the world and have the privilege of reading their poetry and sharing comments with so many others. Our dVerse Hosts have such rich knowledge and skills, so valuable in mentoring others.
As a teacher I know . . . there is no better way to learn than by doing!! By simply writing more, I have learned so much. Each week I look forward to the new writing challenges and exploring the many different forms of poetry! Thank you for making me so very welcome! CHEERS!
Life is made up of beautiful moments
Some we may not ever see, hidden & invisible
We say all things are possible!
And every individual can achieve
If we can only change
If we can only focus on renewal
If we can only live with passion – – –
I say, renewal may show us a path
Helping enrich ourselves and our community
Not simply for change sake
But by allowing and nurturing
Creative souls!
By the very act of being creative – – –
We bear fruit
We share our entangled stories
We write our telling words, word by word
We do truly grow
We do richly become
We know we do change
We continually renew ourselves
And we renew our thriving Diverse community too!

Very wise thoughts here. Creativity has a way of catapulting other positive events into our lives and therefore touching other lives. 🙂

there really are so many beautiful moments, and your right, we can’t necessarily see them all, but we can share those we see and in doing so open each other’s eyes to far more than possible…that is the power of words. a lovely tribute here.

You have such a good understanding about what this community is about–as I see it–expressed both in your poem and the intro. Thanks for being here, Joan.

I write more than I thought I was capable of, thanks to d’verse. Inspiration is definitely contagious; it’s great that things don’t get boring around here and almost everybody interacts… that helps too. smiles

We bear fruit…. it is so cool what happens when we put those words together – and i agree – we learn most by just doing – again and again and again – and in that find joy and encourage others as well
