oh october how you call my name with crows' tongue

^^just messing around with the title



Okay, well believe it or not I'm a sucker for dark poetry - BUT only when done tastefully.

I do NOT like: bloody gore, abuse/rape, psycho-thriller tales.

I LOVE: tales with dark twists, haunted nights, withered/black roses, foggy graveyards, spiders, broken mirrors, vampires, apparitions, etc.

Things like that. More of the "commercialized halloween spirit" type stuff as opposed to the hardcore occult.


Rules:
1. NO PROFANITY!
2. NO bloody gore/abuse-rape/psycho-thriller tales.
3. Remember, be tasteful; and no prewrites.
4. Automatic DQ if any of the above rules are broken.



Notes:
♥ Imagery & Metaphor =
♥ I want dark beauty.
♥ Emotion is amazing
♥ Please don't give me cliche C=
♥ You may enter twice.
♥ Please label appropriately!
