Bingo!

This is so good. I’m glad you discovered the why, Sam. Take an Advil it works wonders.

Well said, Sam. I’m glad you figured out why, sometimes all it takes is time and a random question. I concur with your conclusion as well. Appreciate you.

Damian

Well said Sam.

I’ve used AI on some occasions to tidy up grammar etc just like an editor would do.So if used as a tool and declared openly AI is not a problem.It only becomes a problem when the author claims the AI result as their own.
To that end,it might be worthwhile before submitting a post, if there was a tick box which simply asks “was AI used in this upload’.
Honesty is what we want on Stars

Exactly! Cheers 🥂

just be yourself… even if nothing makes sense … just be yourself

The em dash!!!
I learned of it not too long ago, and have used it recently, because I was told editors look for it, when they read potential publishings. I even have it as a saved doc, to copy and paste it now! LOL. Literally just an em dash, on a page.

You have a wonderful site going, Sam. I am happy to feed some of my drivel into it, LOL.
I’d like to see a bigger/broader audience, but the only person I’ve asked so far to join, turned me down. Shyness!
Be very proud of what you have going here. And with Fia kickin it too, y’all are doing awesome.

hello dearest Sam I hope people enjoy my worlds of imagination mixed with my realities and I hope there are people who can identify and if not dream with me…sometimes I fail to be grateful because I get hurt when I don’t make a connection but this is usually because I am not reaching out or being very approachable…I deeply appreciate being here and what you have done for us…I write different kind of poetry for allpoetry…here I am writing for family and that illusive love I can sense but not touch in the flesh anyway my heart believes my soulstory has moved them…your idea is beautiful and will do my best to have a good attitude so often in life I feel unpopular but that really isn’t it it’s more akin to a little sister with five much older brothers who joy is to razz their little sister my gullability makes it fun…but wow when it comes to being protestive our family is thank you ❤️

Hi, Sam. As an entertainer and writer, I found that SR offers me more possibilities than other sites I’ve used, particularly with audio. I also found people using AI and claiming their “collaborations” as strictly their own. That bothers me. Is there no way to prevent such craven misuse of technology?

You made a great site that came along just in time for those survivors of deep underground poetry, Sam. I share your thoughts on original creativity. Creating something from our own minds is much more rewarding than letting a machine do it.

Wow. I really appreciate this and I can relate.
Ai is now getting more advanced but write from our heart and soul is real.

As Tim has said I too share your thoughts on original creativity. Creating something from our own minds is much more rewarding than letting a machine do it.

Iv been writing since just before I was a teen because it has gave me a way to write what I was feeling.

I friend on here introduced me to this site and I am really enjoying it so thank you. 😊

Beautifully penned, Adel. What an amazing expression of your love for Mark, this is a lovely write my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Damian

This is beautifully written.I’m happy I inspired you o write one for him. ;))

Love letters are a form of showing emotions and ow can you be late showing or experiencing love. We truly believe the first o to the trough eats fast and gets full fast. We think slow love is eternal satisfying, never late, or bloating. great piece of love here Lady

Despite all my bullshit, I am a sucker for romance. I wish you 2 all the happiness and luck in the world.

~~~
Every mile, every hour
you live within my breath,
a steady pulse that anchors me
when distance stretches thin

Your words move through my days
like soft February weather,
a hush of rain that touches me
with the warmth of being wanted

And on the nights you feel alone,
I feel the echo of it too
Two hearts leaning across the dark
trying to meet in the middle

So tonight I’m answering
the love you sent on paper
with love requited onto parchment
-The way my heart never stutters
My dedicated heart
turns like a lantern toward you
casting its quiet devotion
across the miles between us

I send you gentle dreams
of moonlit windows and open skies
Where the night curves softly
around the shape of your name
And if the stars have traveled
fifty‑one years to find you
then I’ll follow their bright trail
until it leads me to your door

Because every line you wrote
found a home inside me
and now, with deliberate hands
I’m sending you love upon parchment,
where it can be kept
pressed tightly to your heart.

I love you Del. Thank you for the poem! You are incredible in so many ways. And I am so fortunate.

You, my dear, deserve the best I can be. I won’t stop trying to keep your smile going. Sickness and in health, yaknow?!

OH! This is a goody to go with my taco and tea.

I just loved this. The sheer lyrical imagery danced in my heart as I read. I could feel the playful and oh so passionate joy here. This is what I love about poetry. When a person of your gift writes poetry that makes me want to dance on clouds.
