the little bits of cut paper scraps flutter to the floor like tiny bats a few pieces alight on my sticky fingers and i wish that you could stick to me as easily and i wonder if you love me as much as the stars in the sky the baby bat bits on my floor |

Just a silly, off-the-cuff poem. I feel like a dork putting this in 'romantic', but I guess it is, kinda--in the way that everything reminds you of that person when you're in love... even making a mess with construction paper.
Ever since we read T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" in my British Modernism class, I've had the line "bats with baby faces in the violet light" (line 380, in case you want to look it up!) 'stuck' in my head... so I think that's what inspired the whole bat thing, though this is not at all a modernist poem.  |

 reports, 1d 2h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.62 WE.LOVE.ART.FEATURE.VII.HOLIDAY.SPECIAL.~allieweasley
