My DLD Features

Pieces I have featured through =DailyLitDeviations
November 16th

"listen." by =sioraine
Stunning in it's scope this poem is an excellent
example of creative imagery and intelligent sentiment
mixed perfectly with the power of emotion. It becomes
impossible for the reader to not get caught on every word.


November 15th

“Yelling for Attention” by ~OblivioConscientia
The suggester writes "~OblivioConscientia is one of those poets that keeps his poetry mostly to a select few but I see in him the potential to steadily produce great works if enough people begin to take a glance over his work often."

November 7th

“Realistic” by ~Patched-Hearts-96-me
Stylistically captivating this poem puts upon display a tremendous ability to translate thought and emotion into vivid portraits of flowing language and brilliant imagery.

November 6th

“the fat lady's song” by ~shootingstar2428
There is a level of bitterness seeping through these stylish lines that so adequately express the sour emotion invoked by these words. Still, beating beneath that skin, there is a breathing heart and a hopeful light buried at the core.

November 3rd

“Impermanence” by ~RoxasWannabe
The combination of painfully beautiful imagery set against the darker tone of poignant emotion brings a heavy impact in this poem. Bittersweet and heartbreaking, every stanza draws one further into the gravity of it's voice.

October 31st

“Meaningless” by ~MaggiexMalarkey
Stripped down and devoid of abstraction, this poem is visceral and poignant, sharply constructed of highly palpable emotion, dense and breathing from between ever line.

October 28th

“Do Not Disturb” by ~EsotericHeart
There is something beautifully luminescent in the dark context of these lines. Sublime imagery carved out with masterful precision, the lulling call of the macabre reels you in.

October 26th

“there is a miracle in tragedy” by *Sigtryggr
Intelligent and strong, this poem is a masterful stroke of brilliance. The emotion grows, becoming palpable as the lines pull the reader through a powerful vista of imagery.

October 25th

“Nothing More...” by ~dragonpsyche
This poem takes the usually darker emptiness of being alone and garnishes it with beautiful language and luscious imagery. The emotion of the author is ever sharp, piercing through every line.

October 20th

“the fifth season” by ~flawedfairytale
A harmonious arrangement of vibrant imagery and fluid lines whose construction mirrors brilliance. This poem is amazingly written, intelligently scribed and powerfully expressed.

October 16th

“A Woman is a Thousand Words” by ~TinyBat
Woman is perhaps the worlds most mystifying creature, her simultaneous possession of beauty and power is undefinable. This poem takes woman, peels back the curtains and with excellent writing shows a peek of her every side.

October 15th

“I'll fly you home” by ~lemmingtimes
Beautifully written this poem plays with language superbly. The running theme of the world is precisely executed, the words chosen beautiful and uniquely tied together. A world full of wonder lies within this poem that is by far, out of this world.

October 13th

“Maybe I Should Puke” by ~GemiDonnie
This poem is a heart wrenching, emotional and poignant expression of difficulty and confusion. Every line erupts and takes the reader on a roller coaster they may find painfully familiar.

October 11th

“Overflowing” by =methylated-spirit
Wonderfully unique descriptions patchwork the lines of this poem together with excellence, allowing the emotion of the narrator to rise softly to the surface. There is a calmness here, a hopeful view delivered with the assistance of medication.

October 9th

“atlas” by ~stingrei
This poem is wonderfully written and leaps out at the reader, grasping their attention with precisely constructed lines depicting some truly captivating imagery while teasing the mind. Atlas may hold this sky but this poem sores beyond the clouds.

October 7th

“grotesque arabesques” by =yourpleasantdarkness
This poem is a vast amalgamation of brilliantly structured lines, fantastically compelling imagery and overwhelming emotion. One does not know whether to drift along in the chaotic rhythm or stop and worship the the visions assembled.

October 6th

“Taxi Train” by ~ChastitySeed
Visually stunning and emotionally haunting this poem comes alive and exhales an atmosphere all consuming. Gorgeous language tangles with subtle spikes of sadness setting a moody backdrop in contrast to the brightly lit imagery so adequately displayed by the author.

October 3rd

“inside out" by ~airkisses
This poem takes beauty and rearranges the typical way in which we view it. Through dense stanzas thickened by richly flowing and fantastically scribed lines, the reader is challenged to question how they see beauty itself.

October 2nd

"Flooded" by ~beigegray
This poem combines a dark vision with some
truly beautiful language. The imagery employed
is absolutely stunning, a gorgeous garnish against
the backwash of emotionally evocative lines.


September 24th

“Bisexual in America” by =LostKitten
It is rare to find a poem that not only is written eloquently but also speaks an important message. This poem takes a strong stance against stereotypes and derogatory points of view while making a statement that needs to be heard more often.

September 19th

“Dollface” by `Flutterings
The dichotomy of beautiful, flowing imagery and heartbreaking sadness is ever present in this poem. With each stanza the reader is taken further into a world of artistic grandeur tinted with somber strokes and gut wrenching emotions that erupt off the page.

September 18th

"where the birds always sing" by ~ocd-arsonist
Through the application of distinctive
metaphors, scathing visual imagery and
emotionally evocative language this poem
delivers a stellar expression and engages
the reader, pulling them along a harrowing
journey from beauty to darkness.

M.I.A. / Poetry Feature 12

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 5, 2009, 3:53 PM



So I am about to go M.I.A. for a while. I am heading up to New York tomorrow morning. I can't with any certainty specify when or if I will be swinging through dA during that period but to say I am sure I will be on for at least ten or so minutes a day. It is usually pretty hectic when I get there.

The Poetry Screams Prompt Contest has ended, winners will be announced at the end of the month. Thank all of you that took part in it, I can't wait to see who wins this! All of the entries were so fantastic. Going to be a tough one.

As I will be M.I.A. I am going to suspend my weekly poetry feature with this weeks feature. It will remain up until I have the time to add a new one or I return from New York. I hope you have enjoyed them and will continue to. I'll miss you, dA!

Don't forget to check out the contests being run by
*Shards-of-Shame [link] and

Parallel Universe by *skyeconnelly
This poem is a painfully written emotional rollercoaster that pulls the reader down into some dark places where light no longer exists. The message is powerfully expressed, the lines becoming ever so strong as the piece continues. *skyeconnelly is one of the finest writers here on dA, and I for one have been watching her for a long time now. Her work always blows my mind and leaves me feeling emotionally spent. I highly recommend checking her out.

Bio:

My name is Steve, I am twenty-six years old. I began writing when I was six. I would staple together pages and create books, mostly about the Ninja Turtles. I grew serious about writing at fifteen, joined the literary magazines of my High School and College and have been doing it ever since. I've written in many different forms, poetry, prose, scripts, novels.. though I typically lean toward posting mostly poetry here on dA. I dislike the idea of being labeled as an 'emotional poet' as I consider all poetry to convey emotion in some form or another.

I am currently located in Western North Carolina, though am a displaced New Yorker at heart. I will be returning to college in the spring majoring in Film and Video production, chasing my dream of one day being a director. I've held just about every job imaginable at one time or another and hated most of them, customer service isn't typically my forte. I'm somewhat introverted.

I've been a member of dA for just over a year now and am learning to love it more with every day. I'm focused and determined on my writing, and also practical in that I understand it isn't everyone's flavor nor is every piece I spit out something wonderful, though I do believe there are a few gems in there. I am prone to run-on sentences also. I am attempting to become more involved in the Lit community here and dedicated to making sure Lit gets it's place in the light.

I am a Poetry Admin for =DailyLitDeviations As such I select the most excellent poems I come across to be featured in daily news articles. I also look through suggestions. If you see a poem you feel deserves a place in DLD, then send me a note with the subject "DLD Suggestion" and I will check it over.
