Moon DayThe quested grove
From balloon flight
On Sunlight's baby On the Moon Day.
Enlightened pose, She's the guest of Embarking glow From a foreign day.
Gliding toes on Slippery Rocks To the marching poe For he's Noon's slave On the Moon Day
And if I try and if I go To this time when I bled so well, With this chance to be old, I'll die.
Mounded growth on her thinning coat That she wears in that bed, deep. Her stiffened face not to barely See except in the blinking dark.
I can't remember the grov Moon Day

The Fruitful RequiredIn the misty hair of the crowds delight A fallen tree is gray-dead, a cows meal As it fades from the slow travels of sight
The machines womb, rust flecks and tarred wheels Skid and burn our iron desires In the misty hair of the crowds delight
Inclines declare the bladed brown seal
And we hide behind the glass admired
As it fades from the slow travels of sight
Green metallic signs reflect paved heels And they are followed with trust acquired In the misty hair of the crowds delight
But it is us who breathe natures cored peel And drain cra The Fruitful Required

Under Milk Wood Commentary 1The original title of Thomas' 'Under Milk Wood' was 'The town that went mad'. If it were still the existing title and applied as a critical view it would be one of the very few moments where Thomas expresses a judgement of the characters of the play. Instead this is replaced by the social commentary of naively pastoral characters against each other as well as our own interpretation as the listener.
After the dawn has risen over the town a character named Lily Smalls is introduced. The unique aspect of her appearance is Thomas' conflation of two worlds: reality and dreaming. The opening line by the first voice is very playful and Under Milk Wood Commentary 1

A word about haiku - MS JamesA word about haiku - by Michael James
I believe there are a few basic precepts about haiku that are largely overlooked, or just flat out just not taught in most basic literary (poetic) courses. Everyone seems to know that a haiku is supposed to be written in the structure of 5-7-5 syllables per line respectively, but there is much more going on than just a simple syllable constraint. I shall attempt to give a brief overview of the main points about haiku.
First off, the 5-7-5 syllable structure most often cited as being the sole ‘structural rule’ of haiku is based on the original Japanese constraint. However, the Jap A word about haiku - MS James

Hello

I am in my last year of high school this year. I hope to get an ENTER above 85 (You will understand that if you come from Victoria, Australia) to get into creative writing and philosophy at University of Melbourne. I cleaned up my gallery a bit and will probably get rid of more stuff soon such as bad visual work as well as bad written work. I wrote a villanelle (my first) today entitled 'The Low Tar' and I hope some people see it. If I feel confident enough I might put some of my literature essays on my deviant art (after refining and editing of course) because I feel that essays are equally close to my heart as writing anything else.

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream or a fever.

hi. great work and sosurprised that its all coming from a 16 year old. im an out and out painter really so cant really comment on your photography other than i think that looks pretty dam awesome too. But i would definately like to see loads more painting from you, you have obvious talent, thats beyond doubt and only being 16 just seems amazing to me....id be surprised if one day you dont manage to hold down exhibitions on a regular basis. anyway... well done, oh and both of your paintings have been added to my favourites.

Thanks a bunch domlancaster, I haven't had real experience in painting and only started the other week hoping to continue. well i have done small stuff at school as practise in art but thats all really. I hope to practise more and gain better skill, experiment and such. I've looked at your pieces and now I feel even more privilidged by your comments as your skill exceeds mine. I'm going to add Fruit Salad Skies to my favourites for sure.

thanx for the fav. and mostly thanx for the compliments on a) my artwork and b) my talents.

Im surprised to hear that you've only recently started painting. and glad to hear that you're planning to continue with it. Afterall, if you're already producing pieces like that, then i cant wait to see future pieces.

I probably dont need to tell you this but don't forget that art really does have no limits....experimaentation is great. Use anything to paint with, pallet knives etc but also whacky stuff.....sticks, erasers, anything and everything. and the same goes for surfaces to paint on....im planning to do a bit of slight experimentation myself...haven't done any since school days and miss it so im planning to do a piece of abstract on sandpaper if i can find a sheet big enough. anyway thanx, and i'll keep an eye out for your future pieces.
