Also on behalf of Sappho, I would like to thank you for listening.
The lyrics are about something we both care deeply about. And she was the one to write this inspiring poem. And artwork of course.Thank you so much for your very fine compliments. They go a long way!
Kind regards, Sappho and Gus

Powerful penned, Elke and Gus. Excellent collaboration you two. Great lyrics, Elke and excellent music, Gus. Your guitar tone has a little Neil Young vibe going on. Top notch both of you. Appreciate you, both.

I bow most reverently to Sappho ‘n Gus 🙏
Stunningly beautiful, You Two, in every sense of the word.
Artwork choice, title, and the Envelope Form in its abba rhyme-scheme (with spot-on and soft rhymes), work perfectly together, just as writing and musical skills came together in rendering this lovely, impacting virtual masterpiece in homage to Mother Earth’s ever dwindling beauty and life sustaining wonders.Simply, an enthralling co-write … love it deeply!
Thank you both! ⁓ Richard🖌Nits:
(Check V1-L3, “get” may have been meant as “yet”. Final stanza, L1, should “plead” be “plea”?) 🤓-

I’ve written a few from this vein myself and no doubt we’ll write many more, trying to get people to pay attention. The both of you did an amazing job on this. 🙌

There is a lot of work to be done to raise awareness of nature’s uniqueness and to call for its protection. But we won’t give up!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear fellow campaigner, for your wonderful comment!

Beautifully penned, Fia. I remember last Thanksgiving on DU as well. I agree that our new home is special, and I appreciate all the work you put in to keep the site running, cuz. Along with Sam and Bobbington and all that contribute to keeping the lights on in our creative sanctuary. I’m thankful for this community of gifted writers and amazing people who share their stories and invite us to experience their journey with them. Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Stars Rite family! Appreciate you all.

Chère F.,
What a lovely idea to organise a Thnksgiving dinner.
I am still grateful for a number of very successful coops with DUP people. Very rewarding in terms of the gentle fun of putting energy into the work and make it work.From some 4.500 listens, to an estimated 12.500 (Loving you – with Faith Maree), it resonated immensely in Europe. I am trying in a very small way, to make that happen again.
I can perfectly understand that the burden on the DUP mistress became too heavy. Therefore, I am most grateful/thankful that you have taken the initiative to give us a safe harbour here.
And I will try to extend my being thankful to the rest of the days, and not only on the 27th of November.Warm regards, Gus

I’m afraid it’s too late for my plead to keep the poor turkey alive… But it’s never too late to express my deepest gratitude to you, dear Fia for dedicating your heart and soul to Starsrite🙏
You served a delicious meal with your writing😘-

I left you the best part of the turkey. Did you bring the apple cider? Kinda thirsty.
Appreciate you and your talent here-

How sweet of you to leave me a piece of turkey, dear Fia!
Just look around, how many wonderful poets and poetesses came to your house. This speaks volumes about the charming hostess! 😘

Chère C.,
It almost looks like as if you are tapping from a different source.
Goes for the art work too.Less black and white with sharp divisions, more dark gradually turning light. I hope my English does what I hope.
I mean it as a compliment anyway. You warm me to your art. Love it a lot!Keep on keeping on said Curtis Mayfield.
Warm regards, Gus -

I remember feeling like this. It was a beautiful and cruel woman who made me feel that way. I have learnt men are equally as cruel.
