The seven steadily sedulous years
Have ushered in unnumbered works and folks
Extending genuine friendships and cheers.
I’m o’erprivileged to share in your yokes,
To drench in your tears and choke on your jokes,
Companioned by y’all poets extraordinaire.
Hurrah to dVerse! Bon anniversaire!
Colin Lee
Here’s my 7-line rhyme royal, 7-year-itch-prompt (acrostic), 44-word quadrille special for celebrating dVerse’s 7th anniversary. Kudos to all the committed hearts and minds rostered to marathon the poetry trails for our creative community day in, day out. Thank you! Happy Anniversary!

Thank you for hosting, Grace. I’m afraid the itch expended every fibre in me. Can’t believe I’ve been away for a month already! Oops.

So fun! I love your playful mix of low and high vernacular, modern and antique, English and French. 🙂 I’m proud to be among the folks who know your works.

Oh, dear, dear nosaint. How kind you are. Thank you! I’m only more proud to be read by you. Re the mix of vernaculars, I guess one of these days I should toss in a dash of Chinese for a change. Hah!
