Dark Art



Blood oozes from hanging flesh
Calved more then once by blades

Marking each with their own shape
Distinguishing them from other victims

Carefully laid on a white canvas
Unique to this masterpiece created

Gently laying out pieces of skin
Splashing them with crimson red

A smile plays across his mouth
Tongue licking lips with anticipation

For when he can show the world his art

    Powerful write. You did a fantastic job with the imagery. I thought the second stanza was powerful. Also seemed a bit creepy as though getting into the mind of a serial killer. I like the title you chose for this piece, as well. Keep that creativity flowing.

    I think the title is very suiting! This paints a very vivid picture of a serial killer. I liked it!!!

    Title? Umm, hows about 'Fairy Tales and Wishing Wells.'? No? What about 'The only difference between Heaven and Heathen is a 'V''? Still no? 'Emo kills and cocktails'?

      I was hoping for a more serious title actually . And that's not exactly telling me what you think about the poem now is it.

    well I really like the s0ft core way you weote this poem. I mean you could have easily made this overly detailed and possibly too gruesom to read but your subtle hint at using words like you did was purly marvelous. overall this was a well penned write that I enjoyed reading. I have no suggestions for a title sorry so keep da one ya got up there as it works nicely. any ways good detailment and nice structure makes this an attractive dark piece. keep up the nice work as always sis

      I could have gone more gruesome, but that would have defeated the whole purpose of this piece. It's meant to have that eww factor without making it too graphic. Glad ya liked it bro has been awhile since I wrote a dark piece.
