This feature runs all week long, featuring special coverage during events and certain occasions.

A Poem to Ponder
Some poems really have the need to be seen...

Today's spotlight for poetry shines on the beautiful work of HorsebackWriter, Screaming, a piece where sound, however loud it is, can never be heard.

One of the most interesting features of the piece is its resilience to bad imagery. The lines confer sound, yet those sounds can never be heard. This opinion, this concept paints a picture of loneliness and grayness in one's mind.

It's a metaphor, too, for those who scream their hearts out but are still not heard. The metaphor in this piece is for you to find out :)

Have fun reading today's spotlight!

New Arrivals


IamMyAlterEgo is a guitarist, writer, and warrior from Middle Earth. It's true, just check out his About page when you go to his profile to welcome him.

Fictitious is a people person, and is looking for people to be friends with. She's already jumped into the spirit of YWS, and gave lovely reviews to several works. You can check out her Welcome Mat post here, or go to her profile page.

KHR hasn't had a chance to post much, but I'm sure they're just trying to get the hang of the site. Go help 'em out, and encourage them to post!

BenGrange has already started reviewing, even before posting any of his works. He's got a really interesting avatar, and seems like a really nice guy. Go say hi!

LadyFeathers hasn't had a chance to post much, but I'm sure with a bit of encouragement she'll open right up.

ShelbyLove has already written several lovely reviews, but she hasn't gotten many for her own wonderful work Windchime, a dramatic short written with a load of talent.

phuongaloha hasn't had a chance to post much yet, but I'm sure they have many lovely works for us to read. Let's welcome them and encourage them to share their talent.

Jajexis is our newest member. She's an internet marketer for a veterinarian. That sounds like an interesting job, and I bet that means she loves animals. Go to her profile and welcome her!

Fictitious is the only one who chose to post in the Welcome Mat, but we welcome them all on their profiles as well.
