"carved in stone" by evolutionhotline
In a somewhat experimental style, the author
challenges our perceptions of death or the lack thereof.
"would you see it if i showed you
a timeless world screaming"
Would you want to see? Read it and find out.

"the death of a..." by ColonelFitz
This is a cleverly crafted piece which weaves
together two poems in a loop that is seamless. An
interesting and fun read for anyone who loves
magnetic poetry.

House of Good SenseI want crawl inside
a cleft in your
word-house
& live among people
who don't know
me much.
Sleep awkward
under typewritten words—
the print mistakes
my constellations
the white page,
my passion diffused.
In a world of
good sense
like the static on
old echocardiograms,
cities like
beautiful people
walking across
the Hollywood sign,
I could be small—
circle myself
into austerity.
I wouldn't shake
from the lapse
of cigarettes
or my
centrifuge heart.
I could be
the antithesis
of vanity—
no mirrors
to see
the future inside
like film screens.
"House of Good Sense" by schriftsteller
Excellent. The structure flows in with the theme
and context very well. It's brilliant how fragmented it
is which contradicts the title. Excellent use of lexis too.
A refreshing poem.

"Letters Of A War" by kidsatplay
The contrasting tone of the two narrators of this
piece shows the skill of this writer well. There is a
believable creation of a small Edwardian civilization,
with all the glory of war invoked. This then contrasts
with the reality of the trenches, which hints towards some
of the trench poetry, carrying all the darkness of the time.

"The End Of The World" by fickle-writing
A very intelligent, laugh-out-loud funny piece that
examines a radical chain of thought involving who
would be on top if the world came to an end; the
Cockroaches or Wal*Mart employees. Brilliantly
written, and something that simply must be read.

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
