March 21st World Poetry Day
a world day of what?
OF POETRY!
with or without rhyme,
the one that doesn't put beans
in the pot or paint the landscape,
that invades our window, pink.
IS IT BEAUTIFUL?
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
Poetry is every day
Poetry is every day
Poetry is washing your feet in a basin
poetry is forgetting words
tilling the ground
and turning over the roots
poetry is drawing happy faces
Is that too much?
IT'S TOO LITTLE!
very little, very little
POETRY is always...

what a start of a day today!
the one-worded daily calender

an inevitable ‘stop press’.. in an

Itinerant Climatology
Who sees them pass like this in a low flight.
Van Gogh wrestling with blue paint paste.
Like someone who puts down an elephant's foot.
Frida Kahlo breathing her reflection in the mirror.
This one takes a snake that crawls slowly.
Salvador Dali riding his snails in ecstasy.
He ruffles himself with spiders' paws.
Sylvia Plath left words on the grates of an oven.
Camouflaged in stripes of exhausted Bengal tigers.
Egon Schiele leaving three days after his wife.
The one who sees the bird in calm low flight.
This one knows...

Just Keep...
Just keep swimming
The water is deep or else you may sink to the bottom
Life is meant to be a never ending lesson so you better
Put those skills to good use so show them if you got ‘em
Just keep swinging
You’ll have to fight for what you earnestly believe
Learn to pivot and move like you have a smooth groove
Have your wits about you so that you'll never be as naïve
Just keep trotting
This journey is a grueling marathon and not a sprint
From time to time you’ll have to dash with fierce urgency
But in the long run your craft...
The water is deep or else you may sink to the bottom
Life is meant to be a never ending lesson so you better
Put those skills to good use so show them if you got ‘em

You’ll have to fight for what you earnestly believe
Learn to pivot and move like you have a smooth groove
Have your wits about you so that you'll never be as naïve

Bright darkness
Under the dark heat
I dissolve into particles
lost in eternal fatigue.
I am ashes, I am shadow,
I am space fused with the sun
in a steel bond.
Time drags on with
a cruel weight,
I am an echo that screams
in the emptiness of the sky.
Every atom trembles, begs,
breaks, in the solar substance,
I am the work of Death.
The brightness in me,
devours what I am,
an eternal fragment
that never ceases.
In the dance of fire,
I find the abyss,
of being forgotten,

SpotLight - Willow (WillowsWhimsies)
Welcome back to SpotLight, I’m Damian DeadLove. Got another great episode tonight, that I hope you’ll enjoy. This interview segment is meant for the DU community, as a way to get to know about the poet/poetess behind the writes.
Our guest tonight is a poetess who calls the U.S. home. She’s been a member here since March of 2016. Although, it could be longer since she had previous profiles.
She’s a gifted poetess and writer. She’s a spitfire once you get her wound up, and for some reason I have the gift of taking her there, with some of the topics I write...

We forget how we call this place earth
The pen lids open and close
like an inhale and exhale
past and present collide
together as bark on trees
begin to strip themselves
down, as stems on flowers
bend in their own hysteria.
As ground splits wide open
I see lamb and cattle scatter
to find safety in the unknown,
I remind myself there cannot
be days without nights as
I herd them away into their
respective houses like
my elders once did.
Tonight we watch rain
outside washing away
lifes grime remaining
unresolved,...

buried in clouds
One day my heart will have its final beat
Many, many years from now
And I wonder who I will go searching for first
I would assume it would be the one who helped conceive me
And confront the cowardly man in the sky who stole the father from an innocent daughter
Or maybe I’ll be too afraid to confront that
And it will be the one I thought I was in love with
To ask him one more time if he actually thought I was beautiful
Unless I’m too afraid to hear his answer and I decide to talk rock and roll with Kurt Cobain

It was never beautiful
not even for a moment
if you believe otherwise, you are living
in sheltered nature under the illusion
you are living.
It arrives without permission, you will go on trips, you will have experiences, you will read poems, you will meet other creatures who walk this earth and realise how little you
are living life at all.
The nest is dangerous, if you do not learn to fly you will only meet death without knowing life's little pleasures, don't decorate your pain by stuffing it with flowers, don't hang
from branches out of...

Home
the walls
cradling my screams
as revelations ripped through me
teaching me...
to be stronger...if not better
amplifying laughter
that I might better hear it
through the anguish of haunting memory
a silent reminder...
there will be light
all the brighter
...having survived the night
the pillow
where I whispered of love
{& lust}
in equal measure
saturated

For DUP & You The Poet
I'm not writing a tribute to one particular person or even several.
I'm just going to say to all that are following me, THANK YOU!
Your all very unique in your own ways. No one is better or greater then the other. We're all equals here.
I read your poems, I comment. I occasionally give an award and many of you have done the same for me.
It's appreciated beyond what I can write here.
To the DUP community that I'm in contact with everyday. You know who you are. I have lots of respect for all of you.
You intrigue me, enlighten me, you've influenced me and many...

The D.U. Trip
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...
