I think it's time we discuss our fav things about DU.

What's the strongest part of DU to you?

Me? I'm a loyal lifetime pusher, because of the incredibly more than fair support of poets!

This place is a philanthropist's rose garden!

The strongest part for me is that the Webmiss allows her individual members to excel in what they're good at.  Though I don't like speaking for Johnny, I know he will agree that for us it's critique and NaPo; both of these avenues enable us to personally improve our writing through guiding other poets toward their own goals - be them simply to improve or publish.  There is a sense of Love within the circle of poets we associate with ( or those who have our back ) - and that consensus of camaraderie keeps us strong while serving as a reminder ( when storms kick up ) of what's truly important: Love, People, and Poetry.

Johnny would also like to add that the functionality especially in regards to  submitting poetry KICKS ASS. Would you believe at other poetry sites you need moderator approval for each poem submitted? And then for every edit you make? Oh, hell to the no.

i'm pretty new here, still; around 62 days or somewhere abouts.

for me, it's been the huge reward of finding some great writing, interesting and fun new personalities to chat with, and some old on-line buddies along the way. most have made me feel very welcome. at my age, i'm not crying about the others :D

The people who take a moment to tell you they like your work, hands down.  Bonus if it resonates 💖.

The platform is what make everything bind together so well, easy to maneuver, easy to find, easy to post, to engage privately and publicly.
