Ok let me explain what I would like to see:
!) Imagery, Metaphors, richness
2)color, places, people, things
3) darkness(as in dark poetry)
4) romance(as in dark kind of romance whether it be death in romance, pain in romance, hurt, hate, murder ... you get the idea I hope)
I am basically looking for dark poetry that has a romantic notion to it. It can be erotic in nature if you wish but I don't want smut. I am at this point in love with someone who I will never be with. The feelings are not returned anymore and it is dark in nature for me. So on that note here come the dreaded rules:
Rules:
1) NO CUSSING
2) IF it is erotic I expect it to be labeled Adult
3) IF it is gory I expect it to be labeled Adult, gore
4) no molesting your shift key
5) NO chat speak I Hste it.
6) I reserve the right to add to the points here or add HM if I get enough entries
7) I reserve the right to DQ you if you are a smart aleck and make fun of the contest, me or other poets. It isn't called for
8) IF I don't get enough entries I will delete the contest and that wil be that so don't come to me and complain.
9) I give honest critiques so if you don't like what I have to say tough.
10) Have fun

Do you want all the attributes in a single poem? or poems having some of the attributes would do?

Thank you for hosting a great contest and for the #11 placement on your list, Maili Knephthan. Considering the massive number of entries you received (51, no less), and the wonderful writers who showed up with their darkness intact, I am indeed honored. Congratulations, one and all. Be well, Poets and Scribes.
