This will make my 25th contest. So, due to my addiction to these joyous little events, I'm hosting a contest almost identical to my first one.
I want dark poems.
But not just dark, I'm talking the most twisted morbid bits of hellish vomit you people call poetry. I want imagery! I want fear!
Give me your darkest write.
Prewrites allowed, three entries per poet.
Rules:
-Any form other then the dirty pretty style.
-If it's long it better be good.
-It has to be dark. If you write about puppies, and those puppies aren't from Hell, DQ.
-Label erotic poems so the kiddies aren't traumatized, though I doubt I'll see any children entering this.
-No poems I've commented on before or poems from one of my previous contests.
I'll comment every poem.
Good grammar and spelling please.
Go write me nightmares!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 29
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
- Final notes: Well, I gave my honest opinion during every comment. I encountered some very amazing poetry and some less then good poetry, but the macabre writers and their morbid styles made up for that. Truly, an amazing contest and celebration of darkness, thank you all for entering and congrats to the winners

I don't know if they're what you're looking for, but I entered 3 of my darkest writes. I'm not sure if it's dark enough though.

I wouldn't DQ them unless they're not dark at all.
