Group Info

"Words Are Pictures Too" is dedicated to those of us story writers and poets on dA who want the recognition we deserve for our work. You may have heard the expression "writers are artists too". Well WAPT is putting it into action: helping spread the word about the lesser known dA members who have written literature that should be shared and appreciated.

frazzled & 60 percent water

brimming on the bus & never
wants to

Reverie for an Amphitheater
The mahogany glass of the stage was lit ablaze by the beacons that seldom turned dim in the presence of an artist considered nothing less than a prodigy, ready to receive their host that had dared to divide his talent amongst the rabid, watching eyes of his viewers. A red velvet sea, parted only by upholstery of a similar shade encompassed the arena, men and women of eloquent vogue pouring into it’s maw to listen to the masterpieces that have been set before them. Balconies cast shadows across a dimly lit overpass lined with golden filigree as the observers hope only to be left awestruck with a monument of cultivated fluidity.

I Found You BrokenI found you broken,
Crumbled, laying upon the steps of life.
I wanted nothing more than to help you back up.
You had fallen from so high so long before.
I'd give my soul to carry you back up.
But no matter how hard I try,
I can't budge or lift you up till you decide,
To stand by yourself,
Change yourself.
And when you do, I swear I'll be back right here.

But do you mind,
If I,
Just sit and wait with you a while?
While we both have the time.I Found You Broken by ~singmyheartout4you

Alcoholic MemoriesIt’s been a long time since I came to the sea. My feet had me run away every time I tried and I hadn’t the energy to fight with my fears. “It’s hard to fight your own destiny”, my mother had said sometime before, when our only problems were mosquito bites and burned cornflowers. Such beautiful summers! Easy, simple, happy. Like those I thought my life would be. The sun would rest forever on my skin and cold yogurt would travel to my stomach. Every year. With carnival festivities, barbequed meat and fried rice. With fireworks lightening up the evening sky and loud music filling villages square. With smells; all kiAlcoholic Memories by *NoodlesAddict

Please Only Submit Literature To WAPT.

:iconhopeful-rogue:

Hello, WAPT Writers!

It has come to my attention recently that some of you keep trying to submit things other than literature to the group, so here it is again to remind you.

We are not a photography group. We are not a traditional art group.

That means, no traditional art unless they are either preview pictures for prose/poetry or if they have prose/poetry written on them.

Do NOT submit photography or traditional art - It will NOT be accepted.
Do NOT suggest photography or traditional art for favorites - It will NOT be accepted.

We are a literature group, meaning we deal with writing. If you find a photograph or traditional piece interesting, please favorite it on your own personal deviantArt account.


Thank you for complying,
Rogue.

Hi. I put together a digital magazine called Surreal Grotesque (www.surrealgrotesque.com). We specialize in bizarre, strange, dark and unusual art. I am seeking writing and artistic pieces for future issues. They can be horror, sci-fi or even dark fantasy but all must have some strange or surreal element. Check out issue one to get an idea of the quality of the mag. We can only offer exposure right now but soon we will be launching our own web community. Future issue themes include: serial killers, sex & death, mutations/mutilations. If you have anything you want to submit: dangrn77@hotmail.com. Or at least read issue one and enjoy! THANK YOU! LOVE YOUR ART HERE.
