Attention: Poets with a Dark Side
I am starting a website community of Poets with a dark side.
***
Turning dark cracks & broken fragments into golden seams of poetry ~ A Society of Poets who can turn the dark edges, the cracked pieces and the broken fragments of their experience into the golden seams of poetry.
The poets I am looking for write their poetry with a dark slant, twist. The poetry can be metaphysically/literally/figuratively/emotionally dark. It can be themed to a genre – ie paranormal/horror/suspense or it can be personal struggles/pain.
***
This will be a community of shared poetry and eventually I would like to publish some poetry anthologies of the poetry shared.
I am recruiting members here.
If you are interested, please let me know in the comments on this post.

Hi Irina.
Great that you are in. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
My pleasure.
Hi Kim. Just confirming I received this email.
Hello there, I’m extremely interested in this. To say I have a dark side would be an understatement. I sent request to join the Facebook group, but I thought I’d write something up here as well to give you a taste of my style.
-Shadow of my Heart-
In love, or simply obsessed,
Every sin is confessed.
But only to an empty shell,
Could not escape my hell.
Beautiful, pale, still breasts,
No more tears, no more jests.
Unknown by her, forever to remain,
Surviving that truth, bearing this pain.
I’ll always find another love to tear apart,
Another soul to snare, in the shadow of my heart…
-End-
I’d love to join!.. And by love I mean a dark and spooooky love. No fluffy bunnies here. Nosiree.
I am quite interested! What a great idea!
I’m interested. Sounds like a fun exercise.
I’m interested. It’s been awhile, but I could write something.
A walk into Night by richard lynn livesay
Daunting pain that clouds my mind to gray
Cuts short the breath of life I strain to bear
As all seems not the all that was before
And life seems less as I compare this snare
So cries my soul to see the other side
I pass a piece of purgatory in time
Revealing facets left behind, entwined
Seeking to rid these retched reigns
Take another critic’s pill ‘til none remains
And cries my soul to see the other side
As darkness is the other side of light
I take another walk into the night
Only to gasp another breath’s reply
Within the void I lay down to die
Yet cries my soul to see the other side
Riveting imagery Richard!

I would love to take part in sinister poetry writing; the kind that makes your toes curl, blood curdle, and forces you to take cover beneath your bed, covering your eyes, perking your ears till you… “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” can no longer just… Breathe.
Exactly! 🙂
Nice meeting you Caroline. Thrilled you want to be part of this.
I tend to write a lot from my dark side. I am interested. I also am a former Gatherer!
I would love to take part in some sinister poetry writing… The kind that curls the toes, curdles the blood, makes you want to hide beneath the bed, and…. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Oooh! I would love to take part!
WooHOoo!! 🙂
Knew you would be keen Christy!
Awww!! 🙂
I’m interested.
HI Michael.
Thanks for stopping by.
Check your inbox – I have sent you more details. 🙂
I’d be happy to send you some dark poetry, as long as you don’t mind if I’ve used it in books I’ve already self-published… (I own the rights to them so that’s no issue)
Hi Andrew 🙂
There would be no issue as long as you hold the rights to them.
Glad you want to be part of this. 🙂
I am not sure that my abilities are close to being publishable, and my dark side sometimes is probably not dark enough, but If you need someone to snicker at I would like to be that person.
Hi there
I have sent more info to your inbox.
Thanks for your interest. 🙂
I’m always on board for poetry with a dark side.
Freaking Fantastic! 🙂
I’m a poet, but I don’t think I have much of a dark side. This does sound good and good luck with it!
Fida,
Feel free to send me a contact request (I have added a mail link to this post now) for more info.
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
I’m wAAAAAAy too busy, but this sounds like fun!
Hi Deirdre 🙂
Yes, it will definitely be FUN! Hey the more fans we have the better 🙂
