      like, uhm something so tragic or dark/depressing that its entrancing and is pretty, maybe look at some of my writes or search dirty-pretty to get an idea of it, might be able to show you better than that description?

    So, is Dirty Pretty in a way like a Satire? Taking something tragic but making it look good?

      kind of but more making it entrancing, its something that is seen as so socially wrong but presented in a way for all to see =]

      Well..

      That's A Highly Appreciated Comment But I Have Noticed That You Should Maybe Try Broadening Your Writting Skills To Abit More Than The BULLSHIT You Write =]

        Have you read any? If you do I think you'll find it's a little more 'broad' than the rehashed cliches about drugs and eyeliner which you'll find in a contest like this. Also, Why Do You Feel The Need To Write Like This? While I'm here, writing only has one T.
        Thanks for the comment, I'll be sure to keep it in mind when I'm trying to write poetry specifically for people with a low IQ

      Ty

      Thanks For The Spelling Advice.. I Guess That In Your Anal Little World You Can't See That There's More To Poetry Than That Sappy BULLSHIT That You THINK Is Worth Writing (Not My Spelling Correction). I Guess It Must Be Hard For You To Find Any Real Inspiration Since Your Head Is Shoved So Far Up Your Own Arse =] xxx
