Amaze Me

One winner. One entry per person.

I want:
1. only poems.
2. no rhymes at all.
3. no hatemail because I've DQd you.
4. no unnecessary punctuation.
5. imagery.
6. no cheesey romance.
7. something dark.
8. to be amazed.

Break any of these rules, and I'll also DQ you from any other contests I may set up in the future.
