x.Dark/Options ♥

Welcome =)

This is my first contest && everyone is welcome.

I'm naturally attracted to dark poetry, so this contest is for dark poems ONLY.

OPTIONS:

1) Write about being a teenager. The obstacles you had/have to endure, losses, broken hearts, etc.

2) Write about an addiction of any kind (includes drugs, eating disorders, anything like that). You could even be "addicted" to a person, metaphorically speaking of course.

3) Write about abuse, from any perspective.

4) Write about self-harm or depression. PLEASE BE ORIGINAL! If you choose this option, I'd prefer personal writes.

5) Write about a first homosexual love, or how society views/treats you because of it. (don't bash it!)

6) Write about a thunderstorm. Must have good imagery, metaphors, etc.

7) Word bank: (must use at LEAST 10!)

Since I have limited internet time, I'm not sure how long it will take me to judge, so please be patient.

Have fun!

Prewrites are now ALLOWED, but if it doesn't fit the criteria, I'll DQ you. Don't take it personally.

This contest is being judged by myself && my Sexxy Cool-Whip Whore/Wife [-Toxicity] cause she's cool like that. Oh yeahh<3

    First off THANK YOU ALL FOR WONDERFUL ENTRIES! It was very difficult choosing winners for this, because there was so many poems that I felt deserved to be placed. If you didn't win anything, please don't take it personally, but I'll probably be having another contest soon so look out for it!

    Also I thought I Found Your Note deserved at least an honorable mention, but I didn't have enough left so I'll be leaving you some points instead! ♥

    Thanks again!

    This is a really interesting contest. I was tempted to enter for about 10 minutes, debating within myself. But I think I'll leave it till the next time.
    You have a lot of great entries here; good luck judging.
