O.k. So hears the deal. I love dark poetry, but I am very picky, and blunt, so are you ready for this contest. I tend to be very harsh, and want things done right. I want you to actually take time. If I see careless mistakes in grammer, I understand writers freedom, but if its just massive, you will be critiqued. NE WAYS
I love dark poetry, so give me your best.prewrites are aloud, but i like fresh ones because if you can't write a good poem in a short time, you're not a good poet. If there is any cussing, it won't be deleted, but it wont win. Make this poem full of suspense, and make my heart beat, faster and faster. I don't want dirty pretty either. Don't bash on this contest or on anyone entering it. Share your hopes and fears with me, and Good luck, and bear your soul. Have fun writing dark poems.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 23, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Srry it took so long to judge, but I wanted to give everyone fair chance. I read and commented on everyone of them. Some were bad, like not even deserving to be written. Some where chilling. But one stood out in my mind. "Why is no one there" It's like the person who wrote this knew EXACTLY what I wanted. So congrats to the winners. And thanks once again

"If you can't write a good poem in a short time, you're not a good poet."
Well, Mayakovskiy, for one, would not have agreed with you. He suggested that after writing a poem one should put it aside for six months of so, before revising it, prior to sending it out for possible publication!

cool seems like a good contest.
A good poet should always be open to criticism! -
i put in a prewrite. would love to write something new, but at work, and actually believe the prewrite to be one of my better dark poems.
-
i doubt that my poem qualifies as dark or mysterious but i put it in anyways...also plz help mewiththe title

My Vigilante In Training is not a prewrite, but I am not sure whether I properly classified in/as "Dark, Pain, Personal,Angst, Thoughts" as I am new and was invited to AllPoetry after Fallen Comrad read some of my work I posted an a Facebook application we both love to haunt. too bad we live with an ocean between as i'm sure he would make a nice friend.

I have not yet read the poem "Insanity is fun" but you will not hear me saying otherwise. I am BiPolar and sometimes have fun with my moods. Especially when I heard on this online radio station a song by Neuroticfish called "They're Coming to Take Me Away" it is hilarious and i sometimes feel i can empathize. especially with both grandmothers (widows) ill and a sister in the last few weeks of pregnancy... this year will be jammed pack with all kinds of crazy. last time i had a couple of years that craZy I wrote the majority of the poems on my page (4-6 years ago)
