The Community for dark poetry.

I know that there are probably hundreds of communities out there for aspiring poets, but trust me - this one is different.

I don't like warm, fuzzy romantic poetry; I don't like cheerful, everything-is-wonderful poetry. I like poems that explore the darker side of life in a new and unique way. That's not saying that romance is banned from this community; I'm only saying that the poem has to have some characteristic of the dark aspects of life. However, the term "gothic" is only used because the term "dark" was already taken. Please avoid cliche gothic poetry.

Come on...you know you have a twisted mind. Show it off through your poetry.
