Thanks to Jade-Pandora and AsiaOneMoon for participating in my first feature! As promised, I will showcase my top three favorite deviations in their gallery and a not-too-lengthy-please-trust-me-on-this reason as to why I like it so.

a sister's eyes
The imagery Jade-Pandora uses to describe the world of a sister, I just love it. Her description of this world is what pulled me in to make this my favorite piece she's written, and I read the majority of her gallery! haha

Quicksilver
The whole tone of this poem just caught my attention, and then I read it and wow. I love Jade-Pandora's theme of two souls entwined between worlds, and my favorite line that really hit it home was "revealed / by shadow and lightning strobe, / paint-by-number puddles trace" Who uses paint-by-numbers in emotional poetry? That's a really awesome thing to do, and I can't get enough of it!

GhostYou offer me your ghost shirt
for warmth, as I stand
in permanent free fall
before the two dippers.
I have no tears with which to weep,
they won't last beyond
the first touch of
thin air in this high place
where trees never grew
or felt the tension of gut sinew
when I lost my eyes
staring into the sun, and
how its dried breath of
ancient rain and elk horn
has left the moon an orphan.

Ghost -
Well, what is a ghost-shirt? I don't know, but before I started reading this poem, I was dying to find out. Jade-Pandora's use of space in this poem as a limbo of sorts is just fantastic, and lest we forget, we also learn why the moon is left an orphan. Another absolutely beautiful poem by a consistently fantastic writer.

Anchor -
I don't believe it's very orthodox to feature Journals, but AsiaOneMoon wrote a fantastic little vignette of a piece in her portal. I love the simple approach to this small love story, and I am a huge fan of short stories, so instantly Anchor came up as a favorite. "It is how life goes... Even if someone thinks they are weak, the only thing they need is a shelter for their dreams, an anchor to hold on to something."

Golden Dragon -
This immediately caught my eye when looking through AsiaOneMoon's gallery. I love the drawing's clean lines, the golden color, and the smooth body of this dragon. It's a beautiful creature.

Ripper -
It's not that I'm a huge Metal Gear fan, because I'm not unless I'm playing as Snake in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros, but the inner designer in me cannot get over the type in this piece. The brush strokes and overall feel of the font: oh I love it. Plus, there's some good humor on the side.


Be sure to check both of these ladies out, for there is bound to be even greater things to come!
