Dancing Elephants Press Poetry Round-up and Prompt
In Dancing Elephants Press we love poetry. I believe poetry builds beautiful connections. We have published our first poetry book this year Moments of Eternity. It is a wonderful collection of 150 poems by 15 amazing Medium poets from Dancing Elephants Press Publications.
Today as we completed our 52-week prompts ( you can still submit we have future projects with the 52-week prompts so keep them coming) DEP is slowly starting to create Columns for our publications. Each editor has a column which you can learn about from our last round-up. Our Columns will be fully rolled out By January 2024. This article is the first Columns rollout.
My Column in DEP is Poetry.
I had been writing poems since childhood. My first poem appeared in a school paper when I was still in elementary school. I love reading and writing poems. One of my favorite long poems is a 62-page poem story that we had to read and learn parts of it in my school PETŐFI SÁNDOR: JÁNOS VITÉZ — the poem is in Hungarian. I am re-reading this poem again and again now probably the 100th time. I love it a little more each time. You can check out the English translation here.
For poetry submissions please use the tag “Dep Poetry” — this allows the submissions to get under our Poetry Column on our main page.
One tag must be “Dancingelephantspress”.
Please check out our Newly updated DEP Submission Guidelines here.
October 16th, 2023 Poetry Prompt: Write a poem about Universal Messages
Messages you have received you would like to receive or you would like to send out to the world.
Universal Messages
I hope one day you will understand, Walking down on an imaginary path, You will get from life what you put into it.
When you give life joy and a purpose: Joy will dance right back to you, Life will take you to a magical dance, Into the corners of your imaginary universe.
Translucent waters will call you for a swim, Beautiful creatures will guard your dreams. From moment to moment, you will find content. Hope will rise in your daily fulfillment.
An ancient rhyme will sing in your ears. I will do to you what I would want for myself. I will care to the highest standards. I will show you my inner self.
Beautiful forests will open their doors, The sunrise and sunset will smile at you With beautiful colors. Simply do the kindness you seek.
You will receive more than you ever need.
