    Point of No-Return (Collaboration with Duhsjaak )

    Point of No-Return Like pearls your tears glisten on the leavesA masterpiece of nature's magicSo marvelous and yet so tragicBecause it was us who caused your grief  We live as if there was no tomorrowGlobal warming and droughts we acceptAs progress'...

      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

    • I said it before. Wonderful collaboration ❤️

    • 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 bow with gratitude to you, dear Richard! A breathtaking comment and the appreciation of a writer like you means a world to me!
        I have gratefully implemented your kind suggestions for improvement. As English is not my mother tongue I appreciate this all the more! 🙏

        • What lovely sentiments you share, Elke …thank you ever-so warmly.

          You’re a beautiful person and wonderfully enjoyable poetess!
          A Most Happy New Year to You! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • 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.

      Damian

      • Thank you Damian, it has been a pleasure
        Reading your work and getting to know you cuz. Don’t forget the cranberries. Lol

    • 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

      • Monsieur Gus, thank you so much for being part of Star Rite bringing your talent and sharing with all of us. Your in charge of the baguette’s.lol

    • 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! 😘

    • I’m so sorry I missed this “Friends-Giving”! It is a pleasure to be here among all of you, and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Now, would someone please pass me some pumpkin pie, and that tub of Cool Whip!
