You cannot say, or guess,
For you know only a heap of broken images;
I hope that this collection of thoughts and images
Pieces together for you a story of art and inspiration
As it has for me.

Critiques

If you would like a formal critique on one of your pieces, please note :note: me. i would prefer it be poetry, as that would be most along the lines of something i am knowledgeable enough in to thoroughly critique, but i am open to at least attempting any and all styles of art.

Watch Out For...








all you have is a yurtyou smell like judas in a red head scarf
onion deep scabs and ropes all where
your blood should be
i'm pumpkin big in my shoulders all
puffed like a peacock at the bad end of a
black vodka shot and i'm peeling
like a humid yellow fern when the baby
sleeps all still in the harbour
the crib and the straight laced lies
choking you like a coward's pillow
well i'd choke you now if i had regard
for the code penitentiary
besides i'm bowler hat round with a
wriggly worm or two to settle a bet with
and i'm gambling drunk feeling sleazy
for leopard print ladies
red marker lips on my collar blue
the mason for the unsold dreams o

This is a Deviant who you should watch (either literally or DeviantArtly) because they are absolutely amazing and deserve to be watched.
My current Deviant to watch out for is *julia-caitlin
:iconjulia-caitlin:
She's the queen of imagery and emotion and i can honestly say that reading her writing is unlike anything i've ever lived before, yes i said 'lived' rather than 'read' because it is truly more than just reading. Reading *julia-caitlin's poetry is literally seeing/feeling/hearing/tasting/smelling/being in words. It's indescribable.
the hazelwoodmy skin is awash with white moss,
my eyelashes moths, moving in a meter
entirely of their own

i breathe with the breeze,
blush in blues and other distant hues;
my eye moves how the moonlight dances.

the soles of my shoes are sodden,
i rotten but contented,
am sinking back into the soil

the hounds of the hazelwood are howling,
i hush them and inhale deeper;
heavier airways swimming inside me.

once a glimmering child
i fall back into my girlhood,
ever waiting for my gallant gentleman
to return to the hazelwood.

Hey All!

My name is, or at least may be if you so desire, alain and i am a Senior at the collegiate level: Marketing major and an Economics, Communications, and Professional Writing triple minor.

i can promise i'm not as dark or depressing as the music i listen to, nor the literature i write - in fact, some might even attest that i am nothing like them at all in person - but, it is a fact that i am crazy so how much trust can you really put in peoples' opinions when they actually enjoy spending time with a crazy person?

i am currently a Poetry Admin at =DailyLitDeviations. If you would like to suggest a poem to be featured, please note note me with a link to the piece as well as your reasoning behind why this piece has earned the honor of a DLD.

Also, if you so happen to fancy some Ultimate Frisbee, be sure to check out some ultimate shots in my deviations. i'll try to keep it up to date with pictures and stories of my team's exploits on and, when not potentially incriminating to anyone, off the field.

Quick life update followed by exciting news.

Life Update:

:bulletblack: Band: Have some practices under our belt now with the new guitarist and I can't be happier with how it's sounding and where it is going, really exciting time and I can't wait till we finally start playing some shows in the upcoming months.

:bulletblack: Ultimate: Recently had a tournament in my home town of Atlanta and, although the first day of the tournament got rained out (which wasn't too much of a bummer because we went to the aquarium and had a great time playing with and watching the sea otters (and I only mention them because they are the BEST!)) but we still got to play 5 games on Sunday and placed pretty well considering our seeding and the fact that we really got shafted by point differential out of group play (literally one point away from playing for 3rd) but yeah, looking forward to competing for Regionals soon.

:bulletblack: School is school. Trying to keep the senioritis flood back and stay on top of everything - and so far so good - but we'll see how long I manage...

:bulletblack: In the Real-life front, I'm starting to put out job applications to places like D.C., Atlanta, Charlotte, and Copenhagen and it's a bit weird to have no idea where I may be or what I may be doing six months from now, but there's also plenty of excitement in the moving on and the trying new things and the meeting new people that inevitably will come. But yeah, if you live somewhere that's super cool and are trying to get more cool people to move there, let me know; so long as it's not too cold (with Copenhagen being my single exception) I'm all ears!

:bulletblack: Made a minor update on my new-ish (or at least newest) poem, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. It's always nice to see my writings when they are finally in a completed-ish state since they usually take so much time to come together.
Yay for finishing things you start! :w00t: Now about all those other notes and papers I have laying around...

:bulletblack: Lastly, I finally decided to get one of those nifty twitter displaying widgets on my profile; they're pretty cool; technology is pretty cool; you're pretty cool; you're also pretty pretty.

Life Update, cool. Hope all is well with y'all on the RL front. If not, let me know so I can bombard you with cute videos, pictures, and gifs of animals: which succinctly sums up most all my interactions with *archelyxs currently and I can tell you for a fact that - especially when you don't really have much time for conversation because of current workload - it's pretty much absolutely the best thing ever.


Great, so on to the exciting news. I will be co-hosting a radio show with the other Wake Leviathan guitarist which will be debuting tonight! We've got a facebook page with information on it and such, but it will be a Metal show - for those of you who are weird and enjoy crazy music - and will be airing tonight (Monday night/Tuesday morning) during the witching hour (midnight - 1:00am) US Eastern Time. I've hosted a couple shows in my time, but haven't had one for a couple of years now, so I'm really looking forward to it.

So yeah, life. Keep on rocking in the free world!

Life has left me with no time for myself. I just came back to DA and was so happy that you had messaged me that I simply had to reply, even though I don't know how long I'll be here. </3

Next month I get Sundays AND Mondays off. We need to make skype appointments, yes? xD

I'm insulted by the fact that you put a question mark at the end of that as if it were actually a question, yet slightly consoled by the xD face. But srsly, best. thing. ever.

Better now that you have sent a message my way, that's for sure (and I was really enjoying life to begin with, so that's high praise!)

How are you, fair miss, and how has life been treating you in your dA absence?
