    Fun By The Pool

         Rose and I had been dating for a little while by midsummer 2007. We were both in our early twenties and very horny. Hornier than most people our age given how we enjoyed a lot of hot...

    A place we all called home

     No, it wasn’t a housebut it was my home. Not bricks and beams, but words and souls, connected in a space that held me without question.I don’t even have a home. I live in an apartment, but it never...

    • I felt this. It was a home to so many people.

      • I don’t know but every time I go to DUP now, I see the purple banner letting us know. We’re on countdown mode, days minutes and seconds, and it just hit me hard again, and I’ve been crying for the last hour. I’m over it now as far as crying goes, anyway, but yeah, this is what came of it. Thank you for reading and commenting Fia❤️
        Love you, your sister and Ink ✍️ ❤️

        Ps I was there for 14 years. I joined when I was 45 and 59. That’s a hard pill to swallow just saying.

    • It’s the family that makes the home and lots of DUPers are turning Starsrite into a new safe have.
      Good…. Different.

      • Excellent point, and I feel you— I’m grateful for this place❤️❤️❤️❤️ I truly am it’s this place that’s keeping me from really going hard and deep into sadness so yeah you’re right. Thank goodness we have starsrite!
        Nice to meet you, Peter☺️❤️
        Thank you for reading my poem and commenting. It means a lot.
        Your new friend

    • I didn’t know DUP brokedown. I stopped using it a while ago.
      I feel you. Being a user for many years building friendships and belonging to a poet family and then be cut off from that it feels like losing a member of family!

      • Hello M.E Yeah, well I’ve been on the underground since 2012 and that’s literally 14 years of my life. and while they’ll never be another place like Dup, I am grateful we’re all migrating here, some some place new. I myself am grateful for that.
        Jackie ☺️

    • I can’t delete my account. I’m gonna let it go down with the ship. I don’t know why it’s not when I saw that damn purple banner just hit me really hard and it’s not getting any easier and finally when that day comes when you click on the little icon it takes you nowhere that’s when the tears storms gonna fall. I can’t help it, the Underground was a true part of my life for so long…
      Thanks for reading and commenting.
      I appreciate you.

    • hello Jackie I feel this deeply I love you 💕

      • You know, Willow made a really good point as many others have pointed out as well. It’s not where you are. It’s who you’re with❤️ and we are all making this new place our home and I’m just glad to see everybody. You guys are all my family in my heart anyway..

      • I know you do Crim❤️❤️❤️

    • It matters so much more than some may notice & will be felt long after the lights go off. When the community gathers in one place, it remains intact. I keep reminding myself that home is where the family is & where the welcome mat greets us. You’re not alone in your grief

      • Excellent words Willow. You’re right, it’s not where you are, It’s who you’re with. I am grateful truly grateful that we have this new platform to be here together, doing what we do best, creating and being kind.
        It’s very nice to see you. Don’t be a stranger, ok
        Jackie ❤️

    • This loss matters indeed, my friend.

    Poetic Firestorm

    It’s a firestorm  that rages… and whirls… within my body,  that no hand of sanity can smother.  My innards burn,  my blood boils,  the flesh upon me bubbles.   Sane, as I may have been before,  the virtues that encased...
