Great picture. One could almost imagine anything with it.
Very dark and yet a very interesting read. The words flowed nicely and nothing tripped over. I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing. Keri

Hello Dklrdmcches,

This is a very descriptive piece of horror poetry. I particularly liked the middle two lines of the final verse:

A slithering reptile coils around my leg as I fall before you.
Touching the soil that bathes you in the warmth you deserve,

Very well written.

Ray

I absolutly love your poem. It captures death and darkness at it's creepiest. I think it is perfect the way it is. I hope to see more of your writing in the near future.

Ooooh, creepy poem! You've captured that sort of spine-tingling feeling, menacing, all underneath the veil of a lover's lament. Very nice.

This is really spooky and should do well in the Dark Club competition.
I would have liked for you to have continued your, 'My love. . .'refrains into the third and fourth stanzas.
I love 'endure this clique that they call life' and I emphasize 'they' which pulls him apart as a dark being.
Your alliterations add to the read i.e.
-tortured tombstones
-wolves watch
-clique/call
-give you Graveyard Kisses

You have many words that are associated with scary: snapping, panic, tortured, Hell, Howling, muddy grounds, moved on, pain,slithering, reptile coils, last breath.

Great dark feel, ominous.

-give you Graveyard Kisses

Great work with wonderful imagery (shimmering moonlight, lover yearning for a touch, muddy grounds of those who have moved on) Good stuff. Dark as they come and a very good read.

Dklrd,
your art work is awesome. I enjoyed this poem immensely. Superbly written poem with marvelous imagery and definitely thought provoking. You make effective use of the poetic devices alliteration and metaphor in your writing. I enjoyed your many metaphors such as test of time, heard in the distance, endure this clique, pain is still vibrant and I take one last breath. I enjoyed the question in the second verse" I wonder what kind of Hell really exists." Your dark poem gave the reader much food for thought. Keep on rocking out the dark poetry.
Melissa.

Most fitting entry for the Dark Club! Excellent! Well crafted and the last stanza was incredible dark with "I grant you Graveyard Kisses"...words, words, words, that say it all. Great read and good luck.

Powerful dark and mysterious. Great write that makes for a great read. The reader can almost feel what it's like to make the walk for their very own graveyard kiss. Keep up the great work.
