_{Whilst browsing deviantART for underappreciated art to feature in my series of news articles, I have come across a few great artists who really do deserve far more attention than they get. I decided to feature a few of them here:

robybaer has been on deviantART only a month and already has a gallery full of wonderful paintings. With great use of soft colours and attention to detail, she is definitely one to watch.

Freya7 has some lovely photography, particularly her shots of sunsets which have a crisp focus and rich colours. She deserves more attention.

xthe-eleanorx is a young writer with a lovely mixture of poetry and prose. She has a great way of telling a story whilst allowing the reader to fill in the gaps. Best of all, she is working hard at improving her craft, so expect more great things in the future.

The Man in the Coffee ShopThe man who works at the coffee shop looks like you. I noticed this some time ago and have since frequented the place. He recognizes me now. He smiles at me when I come in. His smile even looks like yours. He doesn't say hey though- you always said hey.
I still work at the library even though you're not there.
Sometimes I look over to your desk and expect to see you typing at your computer, but someone else is there now. It's not you.
Sometimes someone will come in who looks like you. Maybe he will have the same hair, same stature, same profile, same laugh, same voice. It's never been you.
Sometimes I drive myself crazy. I pull at my hair and scream 'till my lungs burst. I scream for and at you. I ask how you could have left me here.
Sometimes I allow myself to believe that I will see you again. By chance we will run into each other in a Wal-Mart far away.
I go to the coffee shop on Tuesday afternoons. I order a small chai tea with milk.
Sometimes the man is working at th
Oh Dear.He is an Oscar Wilde inspired man-poet
Whose subjects are as real as glass.
He is a silly chorus boy
Spending far too much time in the music room.
He is a reader,
A dreamer
Who hums to himself while his eyes float across the page.
He is real-
But I don't even know his name.
And I am already infatuated.
Purple Lipspurple lips on
translucent skin
breathe life out,
fail to pull it
back in
merely a skeleton
or worse--
an idea
