Welcome to my second contest.
I learned the hard way not to say ANYTHING, lol.
Please READ THIS WHOLE THING before entering.
For reasons not going to be made known to all you strangers, I've been a in Dark mood for awhile now.
So, as I'm sure you've probably guessed, this is a DARK poetry contest.
Yes, oh yes my friends, I want your deepest, darkest most sadistic twisted morbid writings you can think up. I want your feelings. I want your hearts shown on your sleeves.
Make them emo, make them suicidal, make them cutting, make them torture, make them INTENSE.
If you give me a "omg omg, my lyfe is soooo hard, you hav no ideah man, i swear 1 daye im just gunna kill meself" poem, I will gouge my eyes out, and then remove it from the contest.
No I am not a harsh judge, but seriously, poems like that mock the intense writers out there.
So I basically want poems about:
-Cutting
-Picture inspired
-Despair
-Suicide
-Feeling lost
-Rape/Abuse
-Feeling worthless
-Alcohol/Drinking [for numerous reasons]
-Feeling empty
-Serial killers
-Murder
-Angst in general
-Pain
-Suffering
-Drowning [metaphorically or physically]
-The most twisted/morbid thing you can write.
-Give.Me.Darkness.
Make me FEEL dammit.
If you aren't sure if your poem fits in, message me or include it in the authors notes. I read those FIRST.
Rules:
- No dirty pretty, sorry I don't understand it.
- No Erotica or Sensual. Unless its sensual in the way of a serial killer having fun or something like that.
- No overly cliched writing. Yes one or three here and there works to make the poem's purpose clear, but too many takes away from the personal feel of the poem.
- Please no chat speak.
- Spell check your writing! Do not mix up your and you're, or your there/their/they'res. Capitalize your "I"'s!!!! There is a spell check button people!!
- I don't care how you use other capitalization and I judge punctuation loosely. This is completely up to your style.
- I won't tell you left or center align, or what color background, just PLEASE make it readable!! I don't want to have to highlight it.
- I want at least.. hmm.. 15 lines. That's reasonable, If it's any shorter, PM me about it.
- PLEASE DO NOT MAKE LOVE TO YOUR SHIFT KEY. I DON'T WANT POEMS WRITTEN LIKE THIS. STOP SHOUTING AT ME. ISN'T THIS ANNOYING?
- As I've said before. MAKE.ME.FEEL.
I prefer free verse to rhyming, and longer poems to shorter ones. This does not mean a short, rhyming poem can never win. In fact a rhyming poem won my first contest.
If i leave a comment that says "beautifully written" or anything of the such, but your poem isn't in the prelims, it is because although your poem is well written, it is not my style. This is a contest on my tastes, and just because it is a wonderfully written piece, doesn't mean it suits me.
If you're wondering what my tastes are
http://allpoetry.com/contest/2386349
There is my first contest.
Literary Devices are your FRIENDS.
I love metaphor, imagery and personification.
I will add more trophies and HMs when enough people apply, and I'll add some points points when I get them.
ENTER THREE POEMS MAX.
Poems, I do not want stories, sorry.
Put your name in the authors notes. Do not be ashamed of your writing, please.
If your name isn't in there, I'll warn you once, and refuse to read it. I need your name there to make sure you aren't going over the three poem limit!
I may not be the best judge, but I promise to read/comment on every single poem submitted, unless they violate one of the rules.
ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, MESSAGE ME.
Give me your emotions, give me your despair.
