Make My Spine Shiver and My Heart Cry

I want you to make me feel. Emotion has to flow from your write. There is no particular form but I prefer you only rhyme if your good at it.

Dark poems are preferred and more likely to win, but by no means necessary. Write what you feel. And if you can write a dark acrostic, and a I mean a good one, you have a good chance of placing.

But best write wins no matter what. If you're good you're good no way to dance around that.

Rules.....
1. DoNt MoLeSt ThE sHiFt KeY
it gives me a headache
2. no less than 10 lines

3. no more than 100 lines

4. anything else goes as long as it's tasteful and not disgusting
