Write me something sad to lift my spirits.

I love dark poetry, as most of you probably already know, those know know me. Anyway I got some points to give away, but I want you poets to take your time with this and write something for the writing and not for the trophies, because they ain't worth anything in the end.

Write the saddest poem you will ever write, and let anything depressing inspire you. I find the saddest poems beautiful because they always have some form of hope even if there is no hope there anyway.

rules:

1) must be more than 24 lines with more than one word per line. Maximum 44 lines.

2) any style goes except for Dirty Pretty, I prefer rhyme but anything goes.

3) pen me something brilliant, make it come from your soul and cherish the poem after this contest, do not forget about it.

4) DoN't TyPe Like ThIs. AND NO WEIRD SPACING PLEASE!

5) do not mix up an religion into this please! anything else goes though any sort of violence, blood, gore you name it! let your thoughts flow!

good luck to those who enter! remember, it's about sad and depressing poetry, so bring me all your hate and discontent! cheers!

  • Final notes:
    This contest was so hard to judge! Everyone deserves the gold but sadly AP does not permit me to and that would defeat the whole point of the contest! I loved all your writes and for those who didn't win you all wrote brilliant pieces! good luck to all in your future writing! so ends another Symphony.of.Silence contest! take care all!
