it only lasts a little whileat the bottom
there is
love
little hands
dissolving themselves
in the desperate
sunlight & waves
cut by ships
and continents
open
suspended
trembling as the water
passes through
hollow bodies restless
& agile
waiting for the sun
it only lasts a little while by insomniaplague
A Valentines Day poem with a
bit of a twist--the subject is sure
to catch readers by surprise!
it only lasts a little while, by
insomniaplague, is a lovely read!

ways i have been worni. mists
like a vapor.
a wisp about a finger
flexed
missized
missteps
and exhaled
like cosmic debts.
ii. plains
like a drought.
the rush for everpresent
shade
unstable
unmade
the silence
of desperate haste.
iii. seas
like a flood.
a tide without a valid
crest
obtuse
obsessed
the collapse
of a crush immense.
iv. snows
like the first.
a taste of infinity's
breadth
unsure
unsaid
and betrayed
by a depth unmet.
v. universes
like the vast.
the promise of intertwined
rest
imbued
impressed
a design
beyond history's test.
"ways i have been worn" by gliitchlord
Suggester says: "A deep sort of
poem that uses words and rhythm
in a way that is simply breathtaking."

The Medium - Bit 9Kim got up and tiptoed closer, putting her hand on the doorknob and pressing her eye to the peephole.
“Password?”
“Oh, lay off! You expect me to remember a different one every day? Bull corn.”
She pulled back the bolt and opened the door.
“Hey, Zeb.”
Zeb was a beanpole of a cowboy, clad head to foot in worn denim and black leather. He removed his straw Stetson before stepping in, boot heels clacking on the tile just inside the door. A bulging backpack squished as it hit the floor. His hat went on top of a pile of books, and his jean jacket went on top of it, and he hooked his broad, blunt thumbs behind his belt.
Kim frowned at the backpack. “Is that it?”
“Coyote’s bringing the cooler up the elevator. I came up first to scout things out. You better have a damn good explanation for this, Kimmy.”
Zeb loomed up to stare at the filthy lump on the couch, who didn’t move.
“I found him at that Rocky Heights place,
The Sparrow's Fall - Bit 9 by QuiEstInLiteris
Part of longer work, this glimpse
into a terrific writer's take on the
supernatural is worth the read.
Every word is both exciting and
somehow elegant at the same time.

Inappropriate by beeswingblue
Prose by a poet, a departure
from this writer's usual poetry.
The piece is short, to the point
and irresistibly funny, inappropriate or not.

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
