DARK!
Poetry Contest Description
Write a short piece (max 200 words) that explores the darker aspects of human nature, the supernatural, or the unknown.
Unleash your inner darkness and craft a tale that will leave us shivering in the shadows. Let your imagination run wild and conjure up a world that's eerie, haunting, and unforgettable.
I'm looking for bold, daring, and unapologetic writing that pushes the boundaries of darkness.
Since forever, my favorite genre is dark, as far as poems are concerned, and now it's your turn to shine!
Will you dare to delve into the darkness?
Persona NON Grata
Some among the things a dark man's mind desires..
Revealing some among the things my dark heart and mind desire
Lord transform me into a word designer
Standing tall among them, announcing myself as their new town crier
With this notorious attitude of no blabber
All I need to be is this persona non grata..
Of these many dark arts
Lord make me a master
Somewhat less desirable
Much rarer
Beside them a total stranger
A very dangerous bystander
Make them see a gun every time I hold a hand dryer..
To be the sole armor bearer
Lord make me a little higher
Make my murmuring voice something sinister
En route to heaven the farther forward and nearer
The judge, jury and executioner of every scandal monger, scaremonger or stirrer
Some among the things my dark heart and mind desire
Appoint me as the minister of any sinister
The master of all the cell sleepers..
A persona non grata!
