*Achuzu is 20-years-old and an avid reader/writer of poetry. They enjoy the magic that poetry places in their mind. *Achuzu also has a soft spot for animals, music, the color purple, and gardening.

See Love Unheard, Acid Rain, and Covered in Ashes.

~aillesdors is a nineteen-year-old poet whose greatest ambition in life is to become an English professor. A poet from age three, her love of language and literature has only increased with time. She strives to write varied, intelligent poetry and often experiments with many different styles and genres of poetry. Apart from being a poet, she is also a rather experienced critic, and loves to write thoughtful (and hopefully helpful) reveiws of other people's poetry. A member of dA since March 2008, she joined with the sincere hope of getting better at her craft, so critique from others is vitally important! Some favorite selections from her gallery include Scrutiny and To the Critic: A Reminder

~ainekatt is a fourteen-year-old girl residing in the wet and wonderful world of Oregon, although she'd much rather be off exploring Europe or another world. She enjoys all kinds of art and frequently dabbles in almost every kind, from drawing and painting to music and literature, with a little bit of the culinary arts and textile arts thrown in. Her passion, however, has always been for words and language, having spent many days as a child wandering around seemingly aimlessly telling stories to herself for hours upon end. Favorite (recent) poetic submissions from her gallery include If Voltaire Were My Dad, Those Blasted Little Bells and Devotion's Best Friend.

~Alleyana is 16-years-old and has been writing poetry since the tender age of five. She has been published, but never started to take writing seriously until the summer of 2008, when she opened a dA account. She hopes to become an English teacher in her future and wants to spread the joy the poetry has given her to others. Some pieces of hers that you should check out are Greedy Heart, The Rhythm of Your Name, and Eternity.

~AlterEgo1629 is 16-years-young and started writing poetry in 10th grade when assigned a project. Once her project was finished she kept on writing and hasn't stopped since. She loves to learn about all the different styles of poetry, but is too timid to actually try them. A master at self-criticism, she likes seeing what she can make better and hearing from others what she can do better. Some of her works are: Dark, Tonight Ends, and Fire.

`Anavah was an award winning journalist for a national newspaper chain and worked in the legal profession and corporate world for over 30 years. She has been creating in words, paint and collage all of her life.

*AngelofGod87 is a twenty-one-year-old college student majoring in Special Education and ESL. A self-taught poet and artist, she has been writing since age ten, and as yet has never been published. Her poetry is mostly based on experiences she's lived through or "spur of the moment" poems. Her immediate goals are to finish her B.A and move to the States to work on her Masters and to improve her writing skills. She joined deviantART in Feb. 1, 2007 and plans on immersing herself more into the Lit community.

*Aruchel is in his early 20's and has a science degree specializing in hydrochemistry and botanical ecology. He prefers to write in fixed verse, but also thinks that no artist should limit themselves to one medium or style. He writes as much as possible, looking for the day when pentameter finally supplants lolspeak. Try Lunatic, or Towns and Oceans to see what he's on about.

`ATrue, a twenty-something student and mother of two, has been the owner of PoetryPlease since 2006 and a member of DeviantArt since 2005. She's always wanted to be a writer, but didn't start to take it seriously until after she was introduced to dA (she joined as PunknEra) where she spent more time reading and developing her craft. She started by focussing on poetry, but has now developed a porfolio of literature that includes poetry, short fiction, nonfiction, and the beginnings of a novel. `ATrue is not yet published, but is working towards publication. She is majoring in English and hopes to one day be a publisher. Check out He Gave Me A Rose, The Green Canopy, and !0 Tips for Novel Writing for examples of her varied work.

~babyhippy123 is a young mother from the north, but she is currently living in the Midlands. She first started writing at around seven-years-old when she had a poem published in the local newspaper. Her writing has gone from strength to strength, her ability growing after she took a creative writing course at Northampton University. Being a full time mother, she often finds it difficult to find time to write anything, but she often grabs the odd moment.

=BobSmith006 is a teenager who first started writing poetry in 2006 for assignments in his English class. However, he soon began taking great interest in poetry and has been trying to improve since. He prefers rhyming quatrains, although lately he has been looking a lot into all of the various forms of poetry. Some of his favorite poems from his poetry style tryout are Goodman Winter, Childhood Memory, and Date with Death.

~ByMeBeHappy is a girl who just finished high school and takes pleasure in making things with her own hands, especially drawings and sculptures. When first assigned to write poetry at the age of ten, she hated it. Now finding it rather fun, she aims at improving her writing skills, however, becoming a writer is not among her goals. She writes mainly about run-of-the-mill happenings of her daily life.

A few of her written favorites include The Seduction of a Gun, Taking You and When the Heart Cries.

=Carousel-Dreams is a teenager with a love of literature, especially poetry, music, drama, visual arts and philosophy. Her favourite colour is green and her music taste is as varied as her moods.

A few of her poems include Teeth Enamel, Hush Little Baby & City Girl.

~Chikami-chan is a teenager who write poetry as a release. She has been writing since she was in the 6th grade, or maybe a little before, but all of her work on dA is from her highschool years. ~Chikami-chan is always willing to experiment in poetic format, whether it be in song, in a particular shape to asthetically please, or in mathmatical equations. She also submits other forms of art, from comic strips, to portaits, to culinary art photographs. Poetry is not a major career path for her, which lies in math, but she hopes to maybe publish a collection of her poems one day. Take a look at Guardian Angel, From Pen to Paper, and French Fried Lies.

~connorish is in fact a guy who studies medicine. Moreover he likes to write poetry and erotic stories. Most of the time, he actually writes down personal experiences in his poems to get along with his own feelings. His poems mostly come out sad and make you think about what you just read. Three of his favourite pieces are: The key to heaven, The smile, and Mothers.

=CrimsonThrenody, a quiet woman in her twenties, has been a member of DeviantArt since the end of 2007. Writing has always been one of her driving passions, but picked it up seriously in her middle school years. Beginning much of her serious works with attempted novels, she moved towards poetry to expand her knowledge. Yet, poetry never took a strong hold and she returned to her novels and short works of prose, stretching to as many genre's as she dared. Unpublished as of yet, it is a true aspiration of hers and she is working hard to achieve such status. She hopes to eventually become an Editor/Publisher, but knows it is some time away. Take a look at some of her recent musings: Silent Companion, Frosted Fields, and Empty.

~Darkstarplague is a teenage girl, who finds escape in writing poetry. She hopes to have some of her work published and maybe put into a book of her own. Most of her relatives don't take too kindly to it but she doesn't care. She likes the colors red and black and always listens to music. Also she does photography and some occasional drawings. Usually she writes about personal issues but it's not always known to others. Some of her works include I'll be sober until night, Cuts, and The truth about you.

Contrary to popular belief, `Drunken-Splice is neither an alcoholic or even drunken for that matter. At least not on Tuesdays. Instead he soberly spends his time reading the lonely hearts columns and correcting the list of prospective mates' grammar. He is a Creative Writing and French major at the University of Arizona, plays too much Guitar Hero and loves to hang out in dAmn all day and talk about his favorite Chardonnay. He is also deathly afraid of snakes...deathly. California, Liberated, December, Dialysis.

*E-Shark47 is a young adult poet who wishes to learn as much as he can about poetry. He has been writing in general since he was 12 years old and just started writing poetry seriously since September 2008. He joined dA on March 5, 2009 after hearing about it on YouTube. He enjoys poetry, photography, music, and anime. He writes mostly spoken word poetry, as he was inspired to do so after watching an episode of Brave New Voice on HBO. He likes cartoons, guitars, and resource books and internet pages. He hopes to go to college and get his bachelor of science in chemical engineering. He also runs a legitimate business of making author tags. Here are 3 of his works: Tear Down The Wall, Baptism by Fire, and Ode To My Calculator.

~Espatross is a college student studying mathematics. However, they don't stop him from enjoying the more liberal arts of reading and writing. He loves to write about the nature of people, though he finds it dull to speak on individuals. His works have a tendency to be more abstract when read literally; however there is commonly an agenda behind it. He also has a particular fascination with how punctuation and structure can enhance the meaning of poetry. His free time is spent writing, thinking, talking, and participating in kinesthetic manipulation, i.e. Toss Juggling, Contact Juggling, and Martial Arts. Note the works: Fitzgerald, New Pristine, and Fox Hole.

~Faust-XVIII is a writer in his mid-teens. He's been writing since he could hold a pen and form coherent words (perhaps a little while before that). He wants to improve his work and sometime in the future get it published, so the world can read and enjoy it. He writes mostly macabre and dramatic poetry but often plays around with other styles. Some pieces that best represent his writing are Shut up and die, Conquest of Paradise and Back to the Fetus.

~Gilded-Cxnt is a poet in her teens and has loved writing since she can remember. She's been on DA since '05 and her style has changed numerous times, each leading her to delete the poems of a previous phase. She used to follow very strict structures and try many different types of poem styles, but has found a new love for simplicity and words themselves. Being incredibly emotional, her poems express what cannot always be said or the desperation that cannot always be shown. Some of her recent poems are: Cinnamon Skin, Dysmorphic Feature, and Sadism.

~hawaiianhulagirl is a thirteen-year-old girl who started writing poetry when she was about twelve. She didn't get serious with poetry until the fall of 2008.

She strives to write to the best possible, wanting the best quality. She also is a photographer and will occasionally upload pictures. She wants to major in English and dreams to be either a poet, photographer, or better yet, both. Some of her favorite poems are Dreamworld, Love, and backward going straight.

~imjustme213, a thriteen-year-old girl with two younger siblings, has been writing poetry and prose since she was eleven. She became serious with her work when she hit age twelve. She has joined several clubs on DA and hopes to be able to develop her craft as well as someday publish a book of her work. She writes several genres of literature, but most of her poetry can be described as angst. She started off writing poems about herself, but has found that she likes writing from different points of view and fictional situations. Why not check some of her pieces: Breathe, Chalk Dream, and Mr. Reaper.

~isabellakay began writing poetry eight years ago and creative non-fiction one year ago. She wants to strengthen her writing in both of these genres - constructive criticism is always welcome. She occasionally posts photographs and prose and is also becoming increasingly interested in Spoken Word and Visual Poetry. Attending college keeps her from being as consistently active on DA as she would like to be. She is a member of a handful of groups (all writing related) on DA, but Poetry Please is the group in which she is the most involved. The Challenges are what originally drew ~isabellakay to PoetryPlease, and she is now the Challenges Admin. Some examples from her gallery: are Midwest at Heart, Speaking in Tongues, and Exploding.

~IStoleTheDolphins has been writing since she was five years old. In recent years she has been experimenting with genres outside poetry (essays and short stories); her strengths are in analytical writing. Her fiction needs more than work; it needs a team of surgeons. She doesn't like talking about herself in third person but does so when requested. The closest to being published she has ever come was in her school's literary magazine during her freshman year of high school. She's been on dA for two years, a year and a half on the now-dead account ~Mackenzie001, and about half a year on ~IStoleTheDolphins. In addition to writing, she draws, is attempting to paint, play the piano (mediocre), and enjoys photography. From her own gallery she is most content with Theoretical Moments, You Wear The MOrning, and Downside-Up.

~Kuatsimoto is a thoughtful poet in his teens. He currently lives in south Texas, but was originally from Mexico. Writing helps him express himself to the world, and he charishes that. Most of his poetry expresses him through his own philosophical way or through nature.

~LuciaDeMure sparkles like a squashed star and is as cheery as peppermint swirls. At 18, she has been writing since the age of 5 and lives in England, the land of Sherbert Fountains and Mini Coopers. Her writing mainly focusses on sombre poetry that speaks of untold emotion and experiences within her mind that she'd rather not have had. She prefers to say that she doesn't write poetry--she paints pictures with her words.

~LyraAlluse is a young adult who is an avid writer of fantasy and science fiction novels. She also writes poetry, although her main focus is to be a published novelist. She has been published in many local publications and is currently getting an English Major. Most of her inspiration comes from watching live action Asian dramas, listening to heavy metal, reading manga, and watching anime. She enjoys critiquing other people's work and getting feedback from other writers so she can acquire the skills necessary to become a better writer. She also enjoys reading and writing fan fiction.
