Beautiful Dark

I want to see RAW DARK EMOTIONS 

MAKE ME FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL - SCARED, EMPTY, SAD ETC BUT NOT DEPRESSED (NO CUTTING OR SUICIDE, PLEASE) USE POETIC DEVICE - MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL.


I like reading well written, well constructed poems.  I will not close the contest until the two weeks are up, so don't enter unless your poem is the polished and finished product

Remember less is more

Show don't tell

Can be pic inspired if you wish (free members, put a link for me to your pic in AN)

 

Please try to comment on other's in the contest and on my poems too - commenting is what keeps this site alive


You will not be removed if your poem doesn't fit the criteria BUT you will not win a trophy either

 

HMs will be added at a later date depending on how many enteries I recieve and how many points I can accumulate by closing time

Last but not least - have fun!

    you ask do not enter unless the poem is polished, perhaps in your comments you could check those made for polished
    The immergery you have used here is fantastic.
    is part of what you said to me in my poem earlier

    • Hi again! I loved the poem you entered into that contest its just that there were so many great ones and as always soooo hard to judge! Your write, amongst others was what has inspired me to create this contest. Please enter if you feel inspired

      p.s what do you mean check? Do you mean give critical review?
