I could write a short book about my foray into blogland! I was dutifully reading my followings today and saw a bunch of doors labeled photo challenge or some such thing. Having just come from entries on statues, I chose a door and wrote something about it (see below). I had been told that on the “Home Page” of Dverse is a calendar of topics for the month. I couldn’t find anything called home page but did find that tonight was something called “poetics,” without explanation on that page that I could see. I don’t know how–maybe it was talk of us writing on “moods” that alerted me I had goofed again. Will return after the July vacation (f I read correctly). (signed with love, Nan the Nerd).

Bi-paneled, it can be opened wide
to let the right ones come inside.
Does not the grandeur of this gate
make you pause, even hesitate?
I want in, but do I dare face
this sacred, special holy place?
A heathen, I would be shut out
even if I should knock and shout.
A great archetype, it stands sedate
against my wisdom come too late.
There is a sense of alternation between knocking and hesitating in your poem.

Thanks for your thoughts. I hadn’t imagined that I got up nerve to actually ask to be allowed in (knock/shout). It was a pretty quickly penned attempt.

Loved it! The big beautiful doors as an archetype is illuminating.
Dverse will be on leave for the first two weeks of July only, so you have many prompt days still. The homepage is simply: https://dversepoets.com
The various prompts are posted daily Monday to Thursday.
