Poetry
Featured by: betwixtthepages
His lap was reserved for science...i still see his hands
coated in soil
mud
dirt
playing god
coaxing seeds to life
bringing his creations to us
maybe that was his love
the calluses from wooden shovels
from making wooden fences
from the circle-purple grapes
the quarter-blueberries
the furry peaches
maybe he loved us
the same way the cat did
secretly perched atop my toddler bed
until dawn danced on my fluttering lids,
leaving before the morning sun
would make stark her black in the light
maybe he loved us
through the water and earth and wind
that fed his garden plants
maybe he loved us
with the force of sunlight
but we just never knew
His lap was reserved for science... by ArbiterGirl
Reminder for everyone: Tell the people you
love, that you care. They aren't mind-readers.

Blue Kentucky by sydnerella
A poem that captivates the homeliness
and essence of a homeland, with beautiful
imagery too; country poetry at its finest.

Namesake by Psyghostis
A stark look into the people whose
names [are] a part of their lives, and
their lives a part of their name.

The Coffee GodThe Coffee God behind the counter shuffles foot to foot, a dance of steam and espresso. Black painted fingernails, inch gauged ears and a gray striped sweatshirt, hood crooked on his back. There's a cigarette tucked behind one ear; it bobs and twitches with each step.
“Non-fat caramel latte,” he calls, just as he always does, part of a spell, part of a mantra, toneless (just a tuck at the end). I reach. He looks up.
The espresso maker hisses.
There's something like a grin, something like a spark, something like a shared secret linked eye to eye. When he passes over the drink (rough cardboard sleeve hot to the touch), he lingers. Our fingers brush, a shiver, a jolt, a ten-watt shock.
The Coffee God tilts his chin, shouts, “Hey, mind if I take my break now?”
and ducks around the counter without waiting for a reply.
He slips his cigarette between his lips without taking his eyes from mine. I follow him out the door.
Outside
The Coffee God by anapests-and-ink
Suggester writes: This is a playful
and magical look at romance, courtship
rituals and the meaning of coffee. Prose
with a spoonful of poetry.

Schattentaenzer Shadowdancers A Poem in German and English
Das Licht des Tages schwindet
Und die Welt liegt im Zwielicht
Ich öffne die Augen
Das ist der Augenblick in dem das Leben mich bindet
Das Zwielicht ist die Jagdzeit der Kreaturen
Die weder zu Licht noch zu Dunkelheit gehören
Wir sind die Wächter zwischen Licht und Dunkelheit
Halten die Wage zwischen Licht und Schatten
Greifen ein, wenn eine Seite überwiegt
Wir sind die Verlorenen die niemand beachtet
Die, die immer da sind, doch von niemandem wahrgenommen
Doch wer es will sieht und verschwommen
Wir sind wie die Schatten in denen wir wandeln
Immer da doch nie gesehen
Regeln alles ohne dass ihr es versteht
Wir schützen euch ohne das ihr es merkt
Tun im Verborgenen unser Werk
Leben und sterben ungesehen
The light of the day is fading
And the world lays in twilight

Schattentänzer by Finnyanne
This work is very thought-inducing,
reflecting the emotions of someone seeing
the world with other eyes. It is written out of a
gut feeling, energy that is flown from mind into pen.

Daily Literature Recognition for July 13, 2016
Today's featured deviant is:
gliitchlord
A pillar of the deviant lit community and master of his own genre, this prolific writer is a must-watch for any new lit deviants here. It would be impossible to summarise his 10 years worth of writing on the site with just three deviations, but these more recent pieces may just give a glimpse into the mind of a stellar writer.

Religious devotion meets the internet age, centred on a 'godqueen' bathed in gemstones and jewels.

Daily Literature Recognition for July 12, 2016
Today's featured deviant is:
calliopen
In calliopen's deviantID she writes "i only write when im falling in love or falling apart" and her writings certainly explore all manner of romantic relationships and personal hardships all with such delicate writing. She strikes the perfect balance between the weight of heavy emotions and the lightness of imagery and word choice in each of her writings, and her gallery is certainly worthy of further perusal.

Featured Author of the Day
Suggested by: comatose-comet (https://www.deviantart.com/comatose-comet)
Our featured author of the day is: hopeburnsblue (https://www.deviantart.com/hopeburnsblue) :love:
Mel is probably one of the first names new writers on dA come across. Not only is she incredibly kind-hearted and approachable, but she is also a beautiful writer. She is always highlighting hidden gems she discovers in our little literary pool, all while spinning emotionally-charged poetry that spills with honesty.
A succinct study of an artist, full of unsaid emotions.
A heart-felt exploration of missing a loved one,
told through simply sublime imagery and metaphors.
