Artists join deviantART to share their art and appreciate others. Due to the many artists out there, it’s easy to get towed under and generally obscured from the public.

Make a Difference aims to do exactly that. As there are a lot of writers who, I feel, are more underappreciated than other types of artists, I’ve decided to deviate from the weekly articles made. Instead, Intense Lit will become a series within a series of articles that will hopefully make a difference to you as well as the artists featured fortnightly. Just by giving one minute of your time to write constructive comments, favourites and even watches will make a difference to these artists.


warrants more recognition and a wider audience for her profound literature. Both her poetry and prose immediately draw you in.

An extract from Bullets
"Do you like the feeling of power
As you walk down littered streets?
Do you like seeing civilian blood flower
The bodies beneath bloody sheets?"

An extract from chimneys falling apart
"This is for the uncertainty, the open doors, the possibilities
For secret daydreams, wishes, hopes, almost-rock-solid beliefs built on guesswork foundations"

An extract from Delusional Desensitisation
"It’ll all look the same, from the outside
But I know that it won’t be, not to you, not to anyone else
I’ll no longer be the quirky individual, the sweet everyday girl, your very own
I’ll be the whack job who caught the cliff edge just before she hit the bottom, too scared to let go... "

~ I'm not sure that my work really appeals to the general audience or not. I see views on each one, but nothing saying it was good, bad, or just okay.
~Iroken definitely needs more comments on his poetry. His creativity spans out immensely as he challenges the many aspects of this world

An extract from The Last Moment
"Pulsating
Can you feel the beating of the heart
Beneath his tattered skin?"

An extract from Everlasting
"...But I can't stop crying.
It's hurting me so much.
I can't go back and forgive myself.
Not anymore."

An extract from Discriminatory Insanity
"We're supposed to live together in harmony.
Wasn't the goal world peace?
How in hell do you accomplish it
By ignoring someone who's different than you?"

deserves further readers and constructive criticism for her potently structured and phrased poetry and prose.

An extract from In a Moment
"The moment I realized I loved him wasn't glorious, it wasn’t beautiful, it wasn't blissful or gentle. In fact, the moment I realized I loved him was a moment that hurt more than any other moment I had ever experienced before. It was brutal, and cruel, and harsh, and ugly, a slap in the face."

An extract from Ponderings of a Lovesick Fool
"Hope.
Like the swelling of a balloon with air,
Or the shining of the sun."

An extract from Ocean
"Stand before the waves;
Nothing is so beautiful;
I refuse to leave."

tries to get people to relate and learn from his wide range of brilliant concepts in his open poetry.

An extract from So This Is It
"as we take those final steps
out the door
into the unknown"

An extract from Somewhere
"I'll take you away from everything
bring you into the darkness that is my world
it's not so bad really"

An extract from My Rose
"we met in that glade over there
and sang sweetly into the night
i found the perfect rose in that glade
oft have i come back here"

~ I like when people leave comments telling me their interpretation of the poem.
~blackdahlia911 writes stunning imagery that captures the essence of what she’s describing.

An extract from Smudged Letters
"Words spilled out from your lips like moonscape harmonies and snow white melodies"

An extract from Petals from a Ghost Flower
"So even though your heart stopped beating, you no longer lived with deep shadows under your eyes or felt the aches of devoid"

An extract from Whisper to the Waves
"The air feels so cold but so good, and the smell of the rain fills my mind with taffy colored thoughts"
