    Okay so ive gone through ALL of the Freewrite topics.
    and picked out the ones that inspired me.
    and all my poems are based on those inspirations

    BUT I need more.
    So give me a topic to write about,
    Could be anything.
    Allthough im not so good at.. happy poetry.
    So make the topic a little.. dark.

    Or something like "Broken glass"

    Even though i made a gory one, and my inspiration was "Walk on snow."
    And another one was "Silver Kiss"

    Nevertheless, I need help, so please? Take the time to help.

    a contest about loss of innocence?
    • Uhh..

      Stuck on this one... I think Most Of My Poems Have An Essence Of Loosing Innocence, But it just isnt the center point. ^^

    you might like to start checking my contests
  • Go to "Poetry", click on "Categories" and select "Dark". Start reading poems you find interesting and go from there.

    Or start looking for contests that suit you. Can't be that hard.

  • Look at old poetry for phrases and ideas that may spark a poem...

    or make a poem about a lonely mime...

      It turned out okay.

    Write a poem with a very strong, attention grabing first line.
    topic: -a encounter with danger in a dream-
    • Thankyou

      This really did inspire me,
      maybe not to how you imagined but,

        ", hurtling toward the plaster wall,
        your ears detect the sickening crack of bones,
        And the yelp of your beloved dog,
        as its neck is snapped,
        and its life is ended,"

        what a horrible image
        • i hate those emo sick puppy poems...

            I own a dog
          • Yeah, i agree its sick.
            "Emo"
            I dont agree with categorical crap tbh.
            Its just my thoughts written down.
            But i dont feel sorry for putting it.
            Because its me, And how i am.
            And its my Stle of writing

            But sorry if it bothers you.
            • Nonono, you got me wrong - I don't care what you write, or how you write it. I just don't agree with sacrificing puppies for the sake of art.
        • uhh..

          I just write what i feel and think.
          >_<
          I can help that those feelings cause me to write things what other people might not like...
          >_<
          Its just how i am.
          • It's not poetry if it's not what you feel or think. Keep doing it.
            • Oh, okay..

              The dog thing was to paint the picture of how out of control she was
              That she would harm the dog she loved.
              So that she could carry on hurting other people/
              "Lust for the kill" You could say.
              That she'd loose all sence of moral and dignity,
              To get what she wanted.

                There's a good word for you... "lust".

                It can be lust for blood.
                Sexual lust.
                A lust for life.
                Hundreds of options really.

                Scrap my last suggestion! You look a lot older in your photo than you are. Sorry.
                • Lol,
                  Ive already done the lust for blood. In my poem "More than deadly."
                  and i know i look older, [lols]
                  Sorry for confusing you. xD

            I've had to control my feelings for a long time
            • mhm.

              Ive bottled them up,
              and now im on allpoetry,
              im just letting them all flow out of me.
              ve never let anyone see my true feelings before.
              So, its difficult.

    "Vodka Intimate"

    ... but give me twist in the final line, something that makes everything before it read a little different.
