Hearts of Darkness..

This is my first contest since I've joined almost a year ago.

Dark poems of any kind interest me the most..

Everyone has darkness in their heart..show me the blood..make me feel the hate..the pain..the hurt..make me cry..make me sad..make me sick..make me mad..show me the darkest thing you have..

I like rhyme but free-verse is certainly welcome and is just as good.

Pre-writes are welcome.

I will comment everyone and I will not criticize you

Rules:
1. Please write normal not LiKe thIS.
2. Don't bad mouth anyone.
3. No sensual poems.

Have fun with it, just because you don't win doesn't mean your poem isn't good or that I don't like it. Good luck.

P.S. Please put your AP name in the author's notes so I know who you are and can comment on other poems of yours if I like this one.
