"Godhead" by ordie
This piece is just solid; through its distinguished
language and well-developed voice, it visits a
subject held very near many peoples' core beliefs.

Getting A Hair CutThey all converse about their boyfriends and girlfriends or their lack of
And their deadbeat job
Or the boss that bellows at all the right moves
And the hairdresser hesitates not to make a comment about their boss
As their hands sink through the thick curls of a client
And the scissors snap as they attempt to make something
Out of something
And then they talk about all the money that will begin fall into their arms
Or out of their arms
And some pretend to be something they are not and pose a life not theirs
And all the gibberish that floats in the air
Means nothing
And the lies that infuriate the hairdresser like a pestering fly
And abrades their skin
Until they tell their client that they are full of shit
Gently
Or say nothing
Agitated
Everyone so foolishly inquisitive
Wanting to know more, more, more
Only to cause more trouble
But I think they like that
Or hoping the other will shut up
So they can soak themselves in falsehood
But without the absurdity of all their babble

"Getting A Hair Cut" by insanewalk
A great poem about one of the simplest things in life;
getting a hair cut. Written while waiting in a salon, the
author creates a humorous and entertaining poem with
great imagery.

Black DressesBlack dresses
Pulled up to little girl's knees
Chasing after
Leaves; falling
Or
Dancing on
Breaths
Low slung
Black dresses
Pulled up to your thigh
High heels
Clacking
Through the parking lot
Chasing after
Dreams
You left in the bottle at the bar
That’s how I remember you
"Black Dresses" by ShutterbugShots
This poem is breathtaking as this piece contrasts innocence
and reality between the two stanzas. Each individual line
makes the reader pause for a brief second to consider
the effect of every word.

"i don't see the stars" by loveyoulater
The stark, casual and realistic use of language to depict
a conversation between a boy and girl throws sharp
relief on a subject matter that is dealt with sensitivity
and grace. A poignant, beautiful piece on pessimism and
optimism.

"The Fly" by lulena
This piece will give the reader a shiver down their spine
as it is uncomfortably real. lulena removes the reality
barrier that protects the reader in conventional horror
pieces, and by slowly building the idea up from a trivial
matter, she gently touches the uncanny. The complex
language is well-used, forcing the reader to slow down
and take it in, prolonging a rising tension. A well
constructed and paced piece.

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
