In all fairness. I shouldnt be the judge of a contest considering after a year of writers block i am only just now slowly making me way back into the wonderful POETRY COMMUNITY!
Well i have been browsing around and notice the dark poetry has fallen from the night sky. There is nothing around even SEMI-decent for Dark writers.
SO back to the actual issue what i am looking for is DARK, darker than dark poetry. No emo suicidal shit, i want grotesque yet imaginative imagery and something not cliche.
I KNOW IT'S ALOT TO ASK!
RULES:
1. No sticky caps they are annoying
2. Please try to comment on other peoples poems
3. No suicide crap unless it runs with the poem, i will deem this upon reading
4. DONT BE CLICHE
5. Some words i would like to see used, but not 100% necessary:
GROTESQUE, GLUTTON, CRIMSON, CONTORT, DERELICT, GARBAGE, ENSLAVE, NECROMANCY, SLITHER, FACADE, CADAVER, ABYSS, INFERNAL, UNHALLOWED, MANIFESTATION.
Be inventive, use creative words... IF you use any of these words put them in your author comments box; but dont just string them all together.
Apart from that BEST OF LUCK to all!!

does it have to be GORE? dark poetry can either be about phisical pain or mental pain.. =]
-

I LIKE/LOVE GORE and there are plenty of I am suicidal/depressed contests out there...
However as long as your not writing about Killing yourself... You may as well submit something good!
Lookign forward to it!
