    Welcome to the table. I want to give thanks to all the members of Stars Rite. The last time I did a dinner on the site was on DUP. It was fun to invite everyone I knew to the...

    • 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

      • I left you the best part of the turkey. Did you bring the apple cider? Kinda thirsty.

    • Powerfully penned, Peter. Cool idea, thanks for the honorable mention my friend. A group of writers with critical thinking skills having a rational conversation. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I wasn’t sure if I were taking liberties by using yours and others names.
        In the end I think they mostly would agree with my views on the Bonnie Blue thing.
        🤘

    • This is a good conversation to have. The double standard and how society views it. Like the use of the writers on here. I think you capture their voice well.

    • This is an absolutely powerful writing, dear Peter! Your idea to bring several Starsrite member for a meaningful discussion on the Round Table is brilliant! Thanks a lot for including me!

    • hello beautiful Willow for let me say this is a powerful message with a great flow I am also sad about these things I don’t know what the answer is…I hate how people are treated I have skin ailment and can’t even get a refferal to a dermatologist because my primary says so… I hate how animals are treated it all makes me ill… what counts as compassion in this life it’s like a very painful soul ache to look around and think how can I change it… great write ❤️

      • I actually cut myself off with this one. There were so many more things I wanted to say. But they’re not listening anyway. I’m sorry you’re dealing with insurance issues. I am as well, so I can relate. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Sing it you beautiful powerful woman!!

    • This is a great screw it list touching on so many hot topics, great piece Lady

    • Now this has me agreeing with it. What happened to save the trees, polar ice caps, the aquatic life, or us, damn it?

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write with a message that needs to be heard, which in fact should be screamed from the rafters in every corner of the world. Amazing work per usual. This is next level good. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • This one blasted out of me in one evening after unsettling personal news. I had to force myself to stop. But the release felt good. It just keeps building. They never stop. Thank you, my friend 🧡

    • Wow! What a powerful message, screamed at the whole humankind, especially at those who still believe that no damage towards the planet and our fellow humans had been done. I haven’t heard such an impressive and sadly urgently needed wake up call since a long time! Brilliant work, dear Willow!

      • I think what makes me saddest is that most of them actually know what’s being done. They just don’t care because it would affect their wallets and money is more important to them than compassion. There are a lot of us screaming, they’re not listening. They just hit mute or change the channel. Thank you, Elke 🧡

    • Superb work. Excellent.

    • FUCK YEAH! Oh, fuck fuck fuck fucking Yeah, Willow. You need a big FUCK! for all of them, Willow. But there just aren’t enough fucks for all the FUCKS in the world ’cause they keep making more FUCKS who keep fucking things up! So FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS!

      Fucking right!
      nice

      aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand said with love

      • Yeah, that word has become a constant from me lately. I wrote this one after unsettling personal news and then spent the next 15 minutes just repeating fuck. What they’re doing – while it inspires some powerful poetry and protests – is beneath contemptible. They don’t stop either. I don’t believe I will live long enough to see the damage done just in this one year reversed. I’m not sure my daughter will even live to see that day. It’s unbelievable. Selfish, racist, sexist fucks. Thank you so much for feeling this as I did 🧡

    • Chère W.,
      Your list and mine are almost identical.
      At least my family didn’t tell me to shut up, but the in laws did.

      My car’s a vegan car. And many more people will follow as soon as it dawns on them that there is money to be made in doing the right things for a change.
      All my thumbs and kudos for you.

      Yes, please also listen to Sappho/Elke’s Point of no return in audio and podcasts or some such thing. You’ll find your way, don’t rely entirely on the words of a dyslect.

      Warm waives and regards, Gus

      • I wish my drafts weren’t so full of frustrated rants about the state of the world. But if I didn’t give them voice, I’d implode. It just never stops. I will definitely make my way to Elke’s piece. Thank you for your words and the nudge in her direction

    • I’m with you on every point. Someway, somehow, the good, honest, and caring of this world must overcome the evil wave that now confronts us.

      • The tide will turn. It will take a long time, but once it’s rolling, there’s no stopping it. Meanwhile, big mouth me will keep shouting from the rooftop about it. Thank you so much

    • Superb work. Powerful.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Now this one I can see a bit of the dark side. There’s a deeply relatable element to this that transcends subject or time. Depending on the point of being, it fits multiple topics. We write from a perspective and when it’s shared, it develops unexpected layers. I would like to have seen it performed during your 15 minutes of fame. It must have had a tremendous draw to it, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I was in a very dark place when I penned this one, I was going through something heavy, and it came out in the words. The one thing I truly love about what we do as writers, is the multiple meanings the reader or listener can take away from our words. We as the writer know what we’re really talking about or going through when we create. The reader doesn’t have those blinders on, they are in fact another point of view, without the writers biases. It is a great little song. It got a response from the crowd. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • This makes me feel your pain. The growl had to be wicked on this song.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I was in pain when I penned this, so the words are ripe with it. The growl makes its point known. Appreciate you, cuz.

        Damian

    • hugs dearest Damian I am person who doesn’t know how to stop loving… I feel this write very deeply beautiful soul ❤️

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I don’t know how to stop myself. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Your words transform pain into art, dear Damian! I feel your heart and soul dripping from your pen. Intense and beautiful!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That’s so kind of you to say, what a lovely comment. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Powerful piece of poetry Damian. Dark and intense! Great work here.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I could be dark and intense sometimes for sure. This was a pretty painful time I was going through, life has a way of fucking with you sometimes! lol. Appreciate you.
