dance or dieit hasn't been her day, her week, nor her month
so she's thinking it probably won't be her year,
and she's giving up,
is just going to throw her hands up
and give herself over to spinning in crazy kaleidoscope circles
where the shapes form the past from memories that dont matter anymore.
+
she's sending her broken heart and crushed dreams
up to the stars on a firework
with all the love letters she never had the courage to send
and the pleas she almost choked on.
and when they finally explode,
no one can ever say that heart-break isn't beautiful.
+
the music coming through the speakers keeps her heart pumping in rhythm
with the poundingpulsing of her blood
and she feels more alive now than she can ever remember.
she's losing control, is throwing it away
and it's alright because control is overrated anyway
and the beat of the music is so much better than crying.
+
you might not know it, but the good life is sleeping where you fall.
“dance or die” by latuacantante007
The suggester writes "A gentle, pensive piece that is
introspectively expressive and filled with effective
tender imagery." Upon inspection, the reader will
certainly agree, and find they have become imm-
ersed in the many layers of this wonderful piece.

FerienFERIEN
Auf unserer Fahrt
In Richtung Ewigkeit
Gehöre ich dir
Und du gehörst nur mir
Wir kehren nicht um
Und wir halten nie an
Außer um uns zu lieben
Im Sonnenaufgang
"Ferien" by SeriousJokes
Short, sweet and to the point. That is exactly what
this German poem is. Though short, it still attracts
the attention of the reader. A great accomplishment
on SeriousJokes part.
Prose

The TeacherWe met without formality. He was finishing college and I was a freshman. There were no common threads between us, but we managed to win each other’s trust in days. He became an instant necessity, and I am sure, I was no less the same.
It was a long night, just got out from a relationship. Painful wouldn’t even describe it, it was beyond pain, it was a curse. So I wallowed myself over the net, hoping to crash into something that would counter my night’s mantra, men are morons.
My fingers were busy catching up with my thoughts, I was preoccupied with the different windows that I am talking with, and each window, I was a different person. The splendor of the chat room, the power of technology, the advantage of the anonymous were the new lawless humming in my thoughts. I was able to keep my balance, I forgot to collapse.
We were chatting for days and it went on for weeks and longer, that I decided to stop counting. That time, he was the only thing that was constant. Each nig
"The Teacher" by LeIdz
A frank, honest and emotional recount of a friend-turned
lover. The feelings in this piece are realistic and are written
with such clarity and realism that it turns what would be an
ordinary romance into a great read.

"The Adventurer" by Nuraya
A beautiful and incredibly sad piece about an Adventurer,
one who turns out to be an unsuspecting character, but
through the use of amazing detail, the end is emotional
for any reader.

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

The first poem is fantastic. the haikus must have taken skill and brilliance.
