Escape Ink
as a way to survive
distract myself or
"escape poetry"
as i like to call it
i started to put
my poems, the
older and new
ones in images
& some pictures
though i don't like
socials and dislike
instagram i made
the decision to get
them out there as a
legacy so to speak
it's not a community
& not DUP it's less
interactive or better
said: not interactive
but has to do for now
i may find another way ...

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...

How Poetry ate my day
It started with just a few breadcrumbs
Tasty morsels that led me tentatively out the door
just a little farther….
looking back nervously at my Task List
Just one more taste
and then I’ll go back
He pulled up all smiles and sweetness
saying here’s a Special Something I just know you’ll like...
But – All the Things – what about the Things I’m supposed to do?
I’ll serve you just what you need to get started, he said
I’ll have you back in a jiffy, he said
and with a glance over my shoulder at Responsibility
I said Ok, just for a...

Journey's End
In the three and a half years I've been on this site
I've gone from writing a poem or so a month
to several a week
I've gone from writing mainly fiction and narrative
to thinking in stanzas and senryu
I've gone from interacting mainly with local writers
to knowing fascinating and talented writers from around the world
I've had a place to be inspired and entertained
to write with abandon,
and be unrestrained
It's been a good ride.
Thank you all.

Error 404
Coming soon to a computer screen near you
You’ll be grieving for that old familiar interface
But in a virtual world some things don’t last forever
Remembering fondly that this used to be the place
You’ll walk away with friendships and memories
For all the hours and days you invested in your art
The work that you put in creating a magical realm
Shared with others who were also such a big part
In the nostalgia of things you’ll feel the passage of time
We were able to dream a dream and schemed fantasies
This was a place where we all...

A few thoughts
Fragmented words creep into my dictionary
How can I make you understand?
The dissatisfaction of your own hide
Thoughts of my poetry skinning you alive
If every point had a reason
Then every word would have a meaning
I'll lure you in, since your intrigued
Finding the right word, causes such fatigue
No one's worth it in the long run
Everyone is out for themselves
We continue to create, articulate and construct
For those who enjoy, thanks for giving two fucks!

If anyone cares
I have my email posted in my profile, but I will post it here too al9ng with my youtube page. Feel free to say hello or listen to my poems.
Thanks jj Poetryman.
It has been a great pleasure to have shared my poems with all of you poets here on DUP for the past 14 years. It saddens me not only to lose that opportunity but also to read yours. And to know no longer share special friendships across the miles, like Jade Pandora who we lost to illness. One of the great friendships of my life, we had many hours long phone conversations before she passed. Now I will no longer be...

wind raced across sky
black grey clouds bursting warm rain

What is This
When fingertips hover over the keys
Or twirl the barrel of the pen
Trying to force the expression
A frustration sets in
Even though the emotion lingers
The words are stuck at the dam
Suddenly
Like a gentle breeze coming through the door
A thought crosses the mind
A key word
Like a tiny spark of invention that makes you ask
What is this?
It’s the muse
Awakened
Gentle hands on your shoulder
Whispering

This is Me
I have begun the process of backing up my poems.
I changed my profile picture, so if you ever wondered who I was,
this is "Seed". This is me.
Click on the picture than click it again to see the whole picture.

To be a poet
To be a poet is to sing with words
When all restraint upon the weary heart departs
When all the beauty of the language flows and flows
And through words we catch but a glimpse of realms of gods
It is no coincidence that the word rhyme
Forms a sweet pair with the word divine
We leave the mortal realm when we turn to the stories told
Through rhymes and rhythms we shall enter a new world
And in this world sweet honey turns to gold
Most precious song to which my soul is sold
In gratitude for every song I forged flees all regret
...

Falling from Underground
I was young and naive
but could do a word weave
and sometimes it was good
Then I went Deep Underground
You wouldn't believe what I found
Something I never thought I would
A community of my people
Making poetry look simple
I wrote from my deepest passions
I shared a few comments
and got a few compliments
I even joined some competitions
If only we all could be sitting in a room
with a stage and a mike to read a poem
...
