Dark Poetry Lovers

Hello all I am feeling in the dark mood tonight!
The contest I am hosting is plain and simple!
I want to see some dark poetry.
What I am looking for from you poets are the following:

Dark poetry about love

Dark poetry about love gone bad

Basically dark poetry in general!

I will not be allowing pre writes right now but may end up allowing them later but who knows.
I am a huge lover of dark poetry and I really look forward to seeing how others write

Rules:
No StIcKy CaPs
No erotica what so ever ( sorry )
No explicit killing ( sorry again )
If you use swearing then make it tasteful and use it in the correct way
I think that is all te rules for now unless I come up with something else.

I am a very fair honest judge and if I see myself finding this contest to be very hard to juge I will ask someone outside of allpoetry to review your poems and let me get their opinion

Any ways please enjoy the contest & if you have any questions plese feel free to ask

Good Luck to everyone~!~

    Foul?

    Maybe its just me, but I feel that 'Liquid Hate' is in violation of the rules, specifically: No explicit killing ( sorry again ). I hope that this was just an err judging, if you would explain why it didn't get DQ'd and further more was a finalist and won gold I would like to know. I'm not trying to mean or rude, just trying to understand because if that rule is indeed null and void then I know I had a much better piece in mind that would have been better suited for what you were looking for. Thanks for your time and patience.

      so everyone can read this should they choose too. I will contact the moderators and ask them about what I do to correct for making such a critical error and not realizing that I commented on the write before I was asked by a moderator the next day to not ask for such explicit writes. thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will send the contest link to the mods and see what they can do to help me. If I need too I can correct the problem by giving everyone a trophy? do you think in your own opinion it would be fair to do that? I cna get the necessary points to do that. any ways I welcome any help from your own opinion and the link is in the process of being sent to the mods now.
