"a child's nostalgia" by erinyx
erinyx paints a vivid and near-perfect
vision of childhood as it envelopes the reader in
this world of rich memories and distant longings.
The fantasy is weaved into the text, making this poem
feel like one is reading a fairytale, only better.

"Walking Velvet." by mixdown
If ever there were a parallel between poetry and
street photography, this would be it. The imagery is
well depicted, the rhythm more than reminiscent of
a bustling city. There's also a heart-stopping message here.

Pretending to be Grown UpShe's sitting on the dirty bed,
dragging from unlit cigarettes.
Her fingers are curled into the
pillow.Her eyes rimmed with
smudged black eyeliner
and her lips a red smear
shes puffing imaginary smoke
rings into the the reflection in
the mirror.
She maybe thought she loved him,
yes those words might have passed
her parted lips. But they can't be
held against her, she was under the
influence of lust.With his dark
smouldering eyes and mischevious
smirk. And his crisp white button down
shirts that are now patterned
with her lip print kisses.
She glances with hooded eyes at
the steamy glass door of the shower.
She can faintly see the outline of his
body, muscular and masculine.
A faint blush rises in her cheeks
and she wraps the thin coverlet
closer around her body.
Her toes are painted a bright pink
and seem too innocent to belong
to a body that did what she just
did.
Her stomach feels hollow, like
she just ate a huge dinner of nothing.
She places on hand above her
navel to mak
"Pretending to be Grown Up" by MessyMistakes
An beautiful poem that weaves the story of a girl
who feels she is too young to have such grown up
experiences. Therefore, she "pretends" to be grown up in
different ways. Intriguing language and gorgeous imagery.

making loveWe made love. However, the world was not ready for Love so we had to put her away until they could understand.
"making love" by aMidnightMasquerade
Sometimes less really is more. A story told
with few words, but the depths of meaning will
keep you rereading it for minutes on end.

"Love as Paranoia" by dreamsinstatic
This philosophical non-fiction piece shines
a new light on the idea of love and gives rise to
some new thoughts for readers about its
complexities. Well-crafted and elegantly written,
it is sure to spark discussion.

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
