HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY DARK STAR!!
I knew this week had an important event, but couldnt remember what it was until today haha! On July 25th 2009 we hit our 6th year as a dark poetry forum.
We have certainly come a long way from the basic graphics and handful of new writers. I am very proud of what DS has become, even with the occasional lulls we get. Our core group has stayed the same through the years, growing stronger and stronger as poets, influencing many of the new members that have come into our dark, cozy home.
Thanks guys for the continued support and shared writing. Couldnt imagine things without you!

I was just wondering about this yesterday.
I know I wholly credit DarkStar with my growth as a poet. I had tried other web forums, but none of them seemed very welcoming or were more clique based academia than a true poetry forum. DS is a HOME and I love being able to stray then come back to the warmth here. We are blessed with a gathering of like minds and people I have grown to love and always look forward to being in touch with. I love you guys!

Dangit she stole half my sentiments, but I'll try...
I was sent an email to come here not too long after I "incited a riot" at some other tight-in-the-ass site. When I got here I saw true freedom of expression, not the colon nitpicking I was so used to beforehand.
I've found many friends and drug recipes here, and my time is up here so I'll have to finish later...
