Poetry
Featured by: norui
anyone
the coils are all snapping out blue fires and birth claps
and i'm witness to sleepless unraveling
of mercurial ribbons
demagnetized
from an old molten inkwell
universe.
it had baled up the past in a photolytic chronograph
of timelines and conjurys and tiny heart-stopped miniatures
all spell-broken
down
in odd little moments - open mouths over empty tetsubin - watching frozen tines
in clocks
that seem to haunt the same ungodly hour;
at long last, they've come unfurled
fainting the phantom gallery
of weightless skulls
and lipstick buttons
and powder white magic stockings
and gloves
politely applauding
this version of Ending.
i will not mourn the colour-lines
that flow in wound-grooves and follow out gravity;
they're too soon, now, to remedy
anyway
and in the meantime
anyone
can love me.
"anyone" by spoems
A thought-provoking piece full of wonderful
images and feelings, haunting visions, and a beautiful
crafting of words into a complete structure.

Morning Repose by Fluxicity
The semantics and the use of form, colours
and sensualisation really makes this a profoundly
enjoyable read. Beautiful use of lexis and imagery.

Lighthouse RailingI am more a storyteller and less a narrator.
Unfolding the map of you, I spread it across my floorboards.
The polaroid corners are worn and no longer sharp.
Its colors have faded and bled to the borders.
What is an edge, but an entrance to somewhere we'd rather be.
I'm tracing our backroad route,
Remembering the speed limit I gave you to break.
My thumb falters around each curve.
Post card worthy pictures flash-flood my memory.
Regret seeps in through my fingertips.
I hear it fluttering in my tendons.
You're watching me and you know I know that.
Happiness is a place between You and Then and I can't get there from here.
LightHouse Railing by londonrey
Filled with a plethora of beautiful imagery
and seeping with elegance, this poem is surely
worth the reading. An excellent piece of art.

"'til I look into your eyes" by fudgeandbiscuits
Rarely has heartache been captured so poetically.
This nonfiction piece covers loss with a heart-wrenching
tumble of words, capturing acute sorrow with a stinging truth.

Any Love That Is Love Is Right
"My love for you is real," I hear myself saying, taking hold of her hand.
We are sitting alone in the parking lot, the air conditioning turned up full blast in the summer heat. I wonder if she's even heard me over the air because when I get serious about something I talk softly.
She has tears streaming down her cheeks, one hand clasping tightly onto her cross with the metal digging into her skin, and I notice that it's shaking like the earth did when Jesus died. I grasp her hand a little tighter and I say what may or may not be a lie, "It'll be alright."
She looks up into my eyes and I see all the confusion laid out like a map to her heart. She shakes strands of gold hair out of her face and releases her cross long enough to wipe the tears out of her eyes.
"I love Him, Minu." her voice is shaking worse than her hands, worse than her faith, and I don't think I can hold her together tight enough to keep her in one piece. I lift her hand to my cheek and press it against my skin. There are
Any Love that is Love is Right by KabieBaby
This short story brings into sharp focus the struggles
of people who are both gay and Christian. It is heartfelt,
moving, and above all human. Do read and share.

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
