There's Blood on the Sheets by BlueMeadow193
The strange complexity of this poem stuffs
a puffer fish down the throats of the readers
and beckons them to decipher it's meaning in a
limited amount of time. Alternative beauty it
should be called, enticing its audience with perfect word choices.

Life in four songs01.
Sitting in the back of the train, life going by so fast, yet so slow. Nothing to see, nothing to talk about.
The same four songs repeated over and over, my head on your shoulder, your head on mine. Almost asleep, we stand up, both at the same time, head back to our seats, closing the glass door, sitting down without touching, in a room of laughter.
Always without words.
We didn't need them.
02.
Laying on my bed, side by side, close enough for our one pair of headphones to reach both of us. Arms barely touching, feet up on the wall. Comfortable and silent, listening to the same four songs, over and over,
barely noticing that we are both crying.
Carefully, slowly, almost unnoticed, our hands move closer
until they cling to each other with a hope for happiness.
03.
Walking down an unknown street, close but not touching, four songs only going through our heads, though at the same time for both of us, because the batteries died.
In search of pretty alcohol, behind the rest of the group,
Life in Four Songs by bluefroggy67
Between love and the sorrow over a missing love,
this poem stands out greatly. The emotions are
rising and falling in a well balanced matter, creating
a very beautiful yet sad atmosphere.

Ancient Times by Cortzan-X
Judging by the beginning of the poem you'd
never expect it to be as dark as it truly is.
It reflects the darkness a man's heart holds through
the eyes of an old father and a young daughter who
wanted to leave with the man she loves.
A very impressive work.

DisorderYou've got to stop doing that.
Seriously, it's getting dangerous.
I could die, you know.
(It's sick how I can sense your presence in a room. It's positively sickening. And once I finally see you, my eyes automatically stick to you, despite how much I don't want to want to. Still, though, it makes more sense than my eyes darting back and forth toward you and away from you, back and forth, unable to restrain myself, looking like the pathetic freak that I am. And you start to walk past me, and there is a moment when the entire human population is deprived. They are all starved, blank, empty homeless children. There is a moment where the angle and the distance and light I am seeing you in is beautiful beyond comprehension: instant understanding comes through and the process of comprehension doesn't exist. Everyone who doesn't, can't, experience this, this moment right now, is so sad. It is simply sad.
I am the only one who sees it. The lines, the angles of your face from this
"Disorder" by lookatyouall
With a beautiful touch of humor,
"Disorder" describes just how dangerous beauty
can be. The tone is perfect, a balance of disgust
and longing, that goes straight to the heart
and rings true.

"MISD: C is for Carat" by Empnezz
This short piece has a black comedic tone to it
circled around the ironic conclusion of the piece.
It is intellegiently constructed, portraying a
realistic scene. Every line adds to the scene, including
the witty title, and this attention to detail is
evident in the quality of the piece produced.

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
