    Oooo...

    I never knew I was a fan of dark poetry until I came to this site. It is growing on me. I really liked this one a lot. I'm guessing it is about a black rose. Nice job.

    Great

    This is a little gem, Alex. I like the tone of seductive evil here--it reminds me somewhat of Blake's "Invisible Rose."
    Cheers,
    Bill
