Toxic Lesson

Well, I thought it would be interesting to host two at the same time...okays...anyway

I want amazing, well written poetry. I want to see the best that you can offer talent wise. There are alot of those kind of contests up, so in order to add a twist I think that it'd be intersting to incorperate two different kinds of poems into one-dual interpretations. For an example, (you dont have to use this) use and Erotic poem crossed with a Gorey Dark poem.


To make it fair, I'll even post a poem or two like this. I have some written-too lazy to put them up. I want to see how inventive you all can be and I'm looking forward to reading excellent works.

Prewrites are allowed if it fits in with the criteria.


If you really can't fit two distinguishing genres of poetry together then make your piece really dark, erotic, dark fantasy or real life lessons.

Here are somethings to give you some extra help.

Word Bank

1) caress, vision, depth, guts, agony, spineless, core, carcass, beautiful, graceful, opulent, glitter, glass, treasure, gypsy

2) hearless, hopeful, joy, horror, pink clouds, cartoon, heroes, goddess, rain, honey, lips, wretch, tempt, lure, love, nurture


Prompt

1) Candles upon the mantle ledge

2) Like rat poison licking internal wounds

3) dancing upon a feild of cockroaches


Lyrics

1)"I'll chase the digital eye's below me.
Through them you'll see as I fall
With digital omniscient eyes
Capturing me one last time for you."- Blaqk Audio

2)"Oh my love - I know you are my Candyman,
And oh my love - your word is my command" Aqua

3)" candy apples and razor blades little dead are soon in graves i remember" The Misfits

4)"A tragic yet magickal fall from grace
Too awful to taste for the led and the chaste
Those whose long fetters are addressed to all saints"- cradle of filth
