    Earth

    • Every living thing is just trying to get through the day.
      We need to eat each other to survive but we don’t have to make each other suffer.
      Great write indeed and it aligns with my number one life precept
      ” Cause no harm to any sentient creature”

        Good Evening Peter ❤️
        I wholeheartedly agree, all animals must eat to survive. It is just the way that humans behave is sickening.

      • Hello Thomas, nice to meet you. I was just feeling some kind of way. I love animals and it’s so unfair the way humans just disregard them.
        Thank you for looking
        Jackie 🙂

    • I love this. It reminds me of a song.

      “Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
      Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
      Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
      Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?”

      • I think I have and I feel you. Just mimicking what I said to Thomas above here. I love all animals even bugs and I just hate the way human beings. Just disregard them and treat them like they’re nothing.
        Nice to meet you Alexandria ❤️
        Jackie 🙂

    • All life is special and precious. Some have forgotten this simple truth. Excellent piece, my friend!

      • Hello Detritus 🙂
        Yes humans are brutal any many are still uncivilized.
        Thanks for visiting
        Jackie 🙂

    • Peace and tranquility forever. Lovely poem. Excellent!!

      • Yeah, I mean, I just when I see how they house the animals that feed America and other countries too. It truly breaks my heart. It breaks my heart to know that cows have never get to walk on God‘s green earth and instead, are subject to a mud floor and confinement, it despicable.
        Thanks for looking
        Jackie ❤️☺️

    • Love you Adria
      Jackie ❤️

    • I love this.
      The way animals raised for meat are treated is not only cruel but unhealthy for humans on so many levels.
      I stopped eating meat some years ago, and will take a spider or a mouse outside to release.
      But the fire ant, the roach, and the carpenter bee I cannot abide.

      • Hi Javalini 🙂
        Yeah, I’m practically vegan already. I do like an occasional piece of meat, but it really is starting to mess with my psyche. Did you know when they say on the package grass fed, that doesn’t mean they’re out on the prairie somewhere enjoying their best life, it means big tractors come and they damn near drown and bury the cows alive with grass. I’ve seen videos it’s horrifying and they’re still in their pen locked up.
        Thanks for looking and commenting

    Farewell

     I thought I had till at least 11:15 am eastern standard time. I never did understand United Kingdoms time frame on Dup. 😔

    • this shattered my heart in more ways and places than I knew possible

      • I think for me having the two months heads up before it actually closed, made it more difficult to accept it. it’s like when you’re at the threshold of learning how to let go with someone you love who is on their deathbed the stress and heartaches surrounded with that. When it finally does happen, it’s almost like a breath. I don’t know how else to explain it. It just didn’t seem real until it was.

    • Well, I for one am extremely grateful for this site. It is a testament to our community. —ALL HAIL STARTRITE!❤️❤️❤️
      Ps I hope I spelled that right🙃

    • You make a lot of sense, Zazzles, and I completely agree with you. Thank you StarsRite! And to all DU’ers who found their way here ❤️

      Lets rebuild 🙂

    • I thought I had more time, too. I was writing my goodbyes to someone, and then it was all gone.

      • Yeah, I mean, the last time I checked it said two hours and 17 minutes. i’ve been on the site nonstop since I heard the closing was really happening.

    • A sad day for poets and poetry everywhere…

      • Yes it is. I’m truly grateful though for you Adria and Fia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    • Hey Jackie…

      Yes…

      The power went out before expected…

      I thought an hourglass was universal..?

      I mean…

      Ok…

      The clock was based on UK time..?

      I was there when the flip switched…

      I was reading and commenting until
      the end…

      Haven’t slept in a bit…

      Twas quite an ordeal…

      <#3

      • My brother, so good to see you here!!!!❤️❤️❤️ I just, I can’t say it enough. It really didn’t feel real until it was. It is what it is, but you know what, a good part of that heartbeat is living right here in this new site.❤️❤️❤️

    • Nice tribute. Thanks for posting.

    • I went to do a final lap and it was all gone.. it hurts but in the most beautifully tragic way. I’ve done a lot of growing as a writer on DUP. Made lots of connections and friendships there.

      It will always hold a special place in my heart.

      Beautiful tribute, Zazz💞 xx
      ~P.G💋

      • I mean, the good news is a lot of us from there came here and I’m grateful for that, truly grateful. What we had on the underground was rare, unique, and special. ❤️

        Nice to see you Poetic Gawdess ❤️

    • It went down a hour before the timer told me it would. I wanted to be there when it went dark but when I was able to take a break from work to log in…💔

      • Hi Willow, yeah it was shocking I thought I had you know at least two hours left, but I did what I could to get out the goodbyes and I think I got it done for the most part. I’m glad you’re here.
        Jackie ❤️☺️

    • I thought I had two hours so when I logged back on I was sad to see it was gone. Wanted to save some of the final moments. Damn, this sucks.

      • I think we all felt that Nick. I will say that looking over my friends list here a lot of people almost everyone that I have associated with and a few i haven’t, which is always good, are all here☺️ so I’m happy about that
        Jackie ❤️
