One for DUP

 
What an amazing ride the Deep Underground has been
Finding a community where we came to share poetry
Connecting with poets, writers, romantics and dreamers
Watching the fruit of our labor grow on the tree of…artistry
 
For all the themes and challenges we faced and created
For all the people I spoke with and connected along the way
I’m thankful that I was able to meet other likeminded souls
Who inspired me even when the days seemed dark and grey
 
What a brilliant and wonderful flight of fancy this has been
To have laughed and felt respected by so many peers
Knowing that although the roads may diverge at some point
I’ll be able to carry the love and memory for so many years
 
It’s been a fantastic journey, writing and sharing with others
No matter what corner of the world or internet they may be
The D.U. trip gave me a chance to make friends out of strangers
The experience of lifetime that will always stay with me

A masked man
a red haired girl
a sad looking young man
strumming his guitar
a beautiful naked woman
looking out of the window

animes, purpled haired
sensuous poses
Soulful eyes
rockers with their guitars
Cute bears on helicopters

pretty girl with pink hair
a few scythmen and flowers
a leopard and a wolf
with the cats and angels
hats and caps...pirates

citizens of DU district
population 17577 and growing

here they are poets
orators, story tellers
at times soapbox warriors
showing their true self

In DU the pompous and the sarky
the romantic and the pragmatic
the arrogant and the humble
live together

DU citizens
they don't look any stranger
than residents of anywhere.
