I think this place found me, rather than me finding it....and my writing has vastly improved, I think, since being here, though I never claimed to be a writer or had any formal courses/training in it. Call it fate, karma, divine appointment--whatever, but here is where I'm supposed to be right now in life.

well... I don't call DUP home. DUP is mainly for people who wish to visit poetry sites by phone, and people who write eroticas. I visit sometimes here, but mostly I hang around AP^_^

Well you have been here only a couple of month. But you are right too, for you. Just a place to hang around.:)

I joined DUP as soon as it started crumbling(go fucking figure)...I feel it is in a stage of rebuilding,but I can say this...Through all of the immaturity, arrogance, creativity, difference...This is a good place to grow.If you keep a proper distance and don't get absorbed in the nonsense...Focus on your poetry..You can really blossom as a poet feeding off of a place like this.

its frankly simple.
I can write ... pieces which i didn't know I could, but knew that i some how had it in me. What makes it an internet home to me is the fact that my Pieces are accepted with open arms. A first for me, due to the type of writing I've found myself producing.
The acceptance, the talent and friendliness of others (or those whom I talked to)is more than what i get from people that are around me.

It's better than any other poetry sites out there.. I've / tried a few.. they make u comment on a couple poems before you can put one up. And there's more limitations on what u can write. I feel more of a group vibe from this site like Bern part of a family to put it in a cheesy way..

I personally believe there should be a three comment limit before you can post a poem or start a thread. And those comments should be of substance and critical thought.
Although, we're far too lazy for that.

home is where your art is..:)
although, if I'm serious for a moment,
I can't imagine now not posting here,
and yes, it does feel like writing home...

I think DU is too much like home now, I barely go home these days either. But for some reason it's always in the back of my mind, when I'm drunk, sad, hyper, or at work my mind drifts to this place a little too often. If I could figure out why I'd tell you. It's where I learned how to write, where I first tried something completely new and where I was encouraged to try more and more different things that eventually led to feeling like my eyes were opened for the first time. I'm not sure if any of that makes sense but it's some of the reasons why this place will be special to me for a long time. Even if I can't be here as often as I want.
