Darke-hearte.

I want a poem written in the shakespearean or close to shakespearean style, if you can't do it in that, write it in normal english.

It's no fun readin short, one line poems. Only one person I know has been able to pull a good one off, and that's Harrisham Minhas.

Don't want the poems to be as long as the Illiad or the Oddessey either, aNd DoN't TrY tO tYpE lIkE tHiS - i CaN't ReAd It PrOpErLy, I wIlL dElEtE iT. No slang either, and try not to use can'ts, don'ts, and won'ts instead of cannots, do nots, and will nots.Keep the vulgarity to a minimum. 'Ay dawg - no usin' dis shit either.

I want you to try to incorporate themes of Vampyrism, romance, violence, erotica, or choose one, but try to keep it dark, and danky. I want it depressive, and I also want imagery.

I think that's it. good luck !

    This contest was extremely hard to rank. I almost wished that I didn't have to chose just ONE gold, ONE silver, and ONE bronze holder. This final note from me to all of you is that all your poems were really, really great. I enjoyed reading all of them, and each and every one of them affected me emotionally. I hope everyone of you enjoyed this as well. Thank you for entering this contest ^.^
