The two angels"Twinkle, twinkle little star..."
"Bright heavens child, stop singing that song, I'm trying to work." I glared at the child, perched on the edge of the sky counting the stars bellow.
"Momma always told me angels have no work." She smiled up at me sweetly, as only a child can.
I shook my head at the misconceptions of humans. "Child, all beings work. An angel doesn't seem to work because generally she enjoys work, which makes it more play than work. What, pray, would we do with our time if we had nothing else to do?"
She turned her face down to the starts again. "Why, sing!" She, indeed, did sing her words.
"And what when all songs have been sung?"
"We dance!" She stood and spun, picking the nearest, brightest flower. One I had just planted.
I shook my head. The children were so innocent, so pure. They had nothing to spoil them, nothing to change them. Their souls had not experienced the winter of adulthood. A grin creeped across my face. "And wh

Life's A Board Game
Life’s a board game.
There’s a start called the birth
And a finish that is called death.
But this game is never-ending.
Every time you think you have won,
There is a new course that is needed to be
Completed.
And often these courses take many
Rolls of the dice to get out.
But once you get out,
It seems that things only get tougher.
This repetitiveness goes until
You are finished with death.
This board game of life
Leaves so many wanting to stop.
Which leaves me to say
Life is a board game
Except it’s one where nobody wins.

no noise in the whiteif wind is like sun
then snow is the creator
of whitest shadow.
lights are high and there
is sheer relief soothing the
hard crag-edges of
distant hills. the sky
is a dusting of sugar
in the evening,
whose purple eye hides
not the shape of soft-stepped
cold. the front is the
keeper of drowning
men, dusky bite stealing their
heat, devouring
bodiless dreams. the
shift and drift of stolen sighs
forgets the darkness
of your skin as the
flakes swell the swift sweet seeking
of a lifted bed,
a place to rest our
nascent heads; a silence to
keep our words unsaid.

mozart and usWe are still living with Mozart,
down the hall, third door on the right,
third-floor walkup behind the KFC
on the corner of one street and another
we remain unable to leave him.
He follows us home when we stop visiting
and waits on the back porch for handouts:
water, a sandwich, sheet music, that baby grand piano
we always meant to learn to play.
He sits and he waves to the neighbors
and he waits, a stray cat we adopted
without meaning to, we have the heart neither to
keep him or give him away. He will not stay
in the attic or in his apartment, but.
He plays so nicely. He plays our strings
like a cat's cradle of violins and we
cannot help but respond.

Okay, here goes...
Many comments have been made, many people have hauled off and jumped and are now wondering what is really going on, many tears have been cried (at least by me cuz y'all--y'all are mean. Enough said about that, it doesn't matter. I wish everyone all of the best and more.
I would like to take a few minutes to say two things:
1) Many have come through DLD and been better in this literature community for it. Dedication and hard work helped forward their already progressing talent. Not me, not Will, not Lili or any other running administrator--just dedication and hard work. We have present and former hats, badges and most of all the owners of co
Will's Final Words
Final Words
It is with a hesitant mind and a bloated heart that I write this. DailyLitDeviations (https://www.deviantart.com/dailylitdeviations) was something that was formed out of frustration and anger. I suppose I am not surprised to see it go out that way. A young man named Brandon and I were complaining in a private chat room about how little literature was featured on dA and that we were tired of it. We both wrote several emails to the staff only to be ignored like so many quality artists out there. Eventually we knew that we had to do something or explode from frustration. And so DLD was born. I stayed up for 5 or 7 days straight. My wife hated me and my phone bill went throug
New Information...
It seems that all of you in need of seeing this tradition go on can be satisfied. I would direct you to the account of TheseKrimzonFlames (https://www.deviantart.com/thesekrimzonflames) where you will find links to a new account where his version of DLD will go on in a new and different form.
I am awaiting a journal entry from VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart) to post here with his thoughts on our closing of this particular project. It will be posted soonest.
Few know of my own love and time put into this project because few worked night and day alongside me to take care of everything possible from general administration duties to contests, to answering 100s of messages a day and soliciting everywhere p
Everyone, please hold on...
Please be advised that we are in the process of deciding what and how to do with this account by way of moving on--by "we" I mean myself, VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart), and various seniors/members that are interested in sticking with something DLD or DLD-like. Everyone's responses are being taken into consideration--even the personal attacks made on me are valued opinions. This account owns a number of points and I am considering doling them out to a group of people who would like to start-up a new group in the same vein. A group of people who are concerned with the work of the literature community and not the kudos that go with serving the community. I ha
