Seas Left Unswum
What closet poets are we,
who in moments more sober of thought show a stony face,
but lying alone at night hearing the rain's mourning fancy ourselves martyrs for love,
and epic heroes of romance.
"My lady!
Leander am I, and would take the strait in stroke to be with you!
Orpheus am I, and would venture into Hades to bring you back!"
But count us amateur Leanders as unlikely to swim the sea as the sea is to dry for us.
And perhaps this is best-
for Leander drowned,
and Orpheus lost Eurydice again in the end,
and how much worse should the fate of us imposters be?
Instead let me be the realist romantic,
one who can admit that the stars are simply spheres of flaming helium
(and think them no less enchanting at that!)
For Romeo am I not,
and have no dream of making my marriage bed in the crypt.
Here in the land of the living I will carry dreams to make the lovers of old quake.

Project Warm Welcome

Project WarmWelcome was started by grassiekuik at around May 2009. The purpose is to find new deviants who wish to have a bit wider audience for their work (I guess most of us know, how hard that can be in the beginning) and then feature those artists after every month. So far the amount of new deviants has allowed us to feature everyone who has wished to be featured (:

WarmWelcome also hopes to be able to give a small example of how being active in the community can affect ones own work to be noticed and how the featuring, news articles and forums can work. Ofcourse the audience that Warm-Welcome or myself have isn't the biggest possible, but we sincerely thank for every bit of support we get - on behalf of ourselves and the new deviants as well.

If you are interested, visit WarmWelcome and/or the news article: news.deviantart.com/article/92… ()

The August edition is also up and running on the forums: forum.deviantart.com/devart/th…

Thank you everyone for reading, and I hope you all (new, old, ancient) enjoy your time here and that it helps you to find inspiration, friends and audience that you seek.

Huge thanks to anyone who watches, views, features, comments or faves my work, it's always much appreciated
