Sadness and Darkness

This contest is easy, I simply want you to write me a poem about sadness and or darkness. Nothing specific, anything goes, just make me feel it.

For the first time in awhile, maybe ever, I am allowing pre-written poems, therefore they must be of great quality compared to the fresh writes. Perhaps I sound picky and harsh, but they are my points and my contest so I can do and say as I wish!

Rules and Things To Avoid:
no sticky caps
no lingo
no erotic
no crap writes
dirty pretty?...whatever the shit that is

Things to Include:
grammar
spelling
punctuation
effort

That is all, now write away or pick your favorite, and or best, pre-write!

Please do not cry if I think your write isn't of good quality, I reserve the right to DQ and remove anyone from this contest. Also, I don't see it as an issue in knowing who the poets are, so if you want to ask questions or respond to anything I write about your poems feel free!

Now.....

GO!
