Beautiful spill sister Jadey. I love your rhyme scheme it flows beautifully.

Thank you, my gentle, kind sister of the Pen.  We who are in this year’s NaPo are blessed to have you with us. x

"This quiet storm, my blinding light,
has never stopped its rage,
Since I began a maiden flight
Upon the written page."

This is brilliant ... Love it(all)... Bless and love ... .

My warm thanks to you, Fenyx, good sir.  I’m so very touched.

Great write. I reckon there is clearly an out-there-beyond-DUP audience for this your style of poetry. I'm probably way behind what's going on but is any of your poetry available out there in book form?

Yes, Josh, thank you for asking.  If you go here, a forum called DUP Published Poets, starting on page 4, you’ll see the postings.  Then on one of the most recent pages of the forum scroll, you’ll see where Sky_dancer just recently ordered & received her copy of one of my books Shooting Star, and included an image of it still in the opened box.

I haven’t published for years, and wish I could at this point, as my writing style has continued to evolve by leaps & bounds since joining DUP.

I've been a member of DUP 2+ years and never really looked at DUP Published Poets - boy am I slow on the uptake.  :))   Thanks for the info.
....
... and now I see I've been referenced on it on p.4 by calamitygin back in 2017. Geez, I need a secretary.

Hey it’s nothing to beat yourself up about, my friend.  The thing is now you know.👍🏻

This is awesome !

Why thank you absolutely, Ragnar !

Oh gosh thank you, hrshykss, you /do/ understand, and that means a lot. x

Another lovely rendition Jade and very relatable. A new write drains me to the marrow of my bones. It is to be hollow in the most satisfying way, but we sacrifice a lot for the art. Nephele writes beautifully of the vertigo of insomnia.

Thank you, Daniel.  Even though I gave much to show for the sacrifice over the years, in the end, the damage that insomnia causes accumulatively is ultimately shortening my life. And there’s nothing beautiful about that, I’m sorry to say.

I'm sorry to hear that and I hope you will find a solution. 💖

We all go through sleepless nights gazing at the reality. Don't we? It's as if we write to save ourselves. Great ink, dear friend.

Yes, Mahmudul, it does seem that way at times. However, for years, insomnia is a constant common denominator in my life, paired with what motivates me when it comes to writing poetry.  It’s a sacrifice I endure to be blessed with my abilities on the other side of the scale, my friend.♎️

You need to sacrifice something in order to achieve something beautiful. That's why the greatest of minds also go through the most.

Yes, Mahmudul, you speak true.
