Poetry
Featured by RoxasWannabe
The West Coast by Drunken-Splice
This piece strikes the reader
with its impression of longing
and heartbreak. Truly a soft,
dysphoric piece.

See I, never Know I by IJustShrugged
An ambiguous poem with excellent
use of narrative and tones to create
a dynamic yet intellectual read.
Fascinating use of lexis and form.

Life Wrote Us a Bad CheckI send for you
and all your
mesh parts-
glitter spitting lips,
passion burnt hair
and small
feathered hands.
I care for you-
the little bird
nested in my nights.
The sun has
aspirated,
left me
to the Cheshire moon
that grins-
your mirror.
The silence
of bones
in handmade casts
are the X's
in letters
and the neon signs
screaming forfeit.
You are waiting
for summer-
the breeze
of your
past-life ghosts
that taps your
xylophone spine,
your loneliness.
We are two
falling apart,
apart from billions,
and into each other's
mouths.
I'm ready to breathe
sparklers into
your throat-
have us combust
into a quadrillion
pieces of star
and find our
safe place
in the sky.
You make
dancing there possible.
We are sad
as cherry blossoms
dying
and saying goodbye
seems like vertigo.
Life Wrote Us a Bad Check by schriftsteller
This poem evokes scratchy acid
bitten loneliness that desires to be filled.
The reader will be stung by the sadness
of the beautiful memories that haunt this piece.
Prose

A Little Broken"Oh dear," Worry murmured, "now this is a problem."
She hovered over the heart, peering at the jagged pieces. Ever the watchful nurse, she jotted down seemingly inconsequential details with a meticulous hand. "Heart," she started with hesitation, "I'm sure you'll be fine... Unless you won't be... But you most likely will be. I think. Now, it might take a while for you to heal.. and I'm afraid it won't be the last time you break... but let's get you to the recovery unit first."
She wheeled the little pieces to the ER room, pausing to check on Sadness. She was sniffling in the corner of the waiting room, painting the wallpaper blue with her tears. "Deary," Worry began, nervously patting her on the back, "please stop crying."
"Should I bring Grief in?" the girl asked between gulps, rivers pouring down her face.
"No," Worry said hastily, patting her the shoulder. "That won't be necessary." She darted back to the ER in a flurry of motion.
Sense and Logic chose the moment to enter, bickering
A Little Broken by Venry
A pretty short story, this piece
personifies a common moment in a
different way. Well written, the plot
creates easily identifiable characters,
and through them it looks at the theme
from many different angles.

What would you use a quarter
from a past love for? Hyperionic-Xmissions
says so much by saying very little -
truly beautiful.

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
