| It really sucks that we keep losing people like that. But you haven't had to actually eliminate anyone so that's a consolation I'll have to get mine done today if I want to make the deadline. Going to get my teeth pulled tomorrow |

| Teeth pulling was moved to Weds. My dad keeps delaying it I just want to get in there and get it over with already! Broken and forsaken wallowing dejected No solace in the bottom of this bottle no comfort in these pills Keep drinking to forget get over these tiny hills Do I still feel? Knife digs just a little bit deeper pain, the only thing that’s real got to get over these hills keep drinking to forget Not enough to get you out of my head Happiness is a warm gun, that’s what he said keep drinking to forget put the bottle to my head keep drinking to forget pull the trigger to forget.I'm not very good at poetry so I hope you all got the metaphor I was going for.

| Ooooh you posted your poem, RD! I didn't notice the gun on the table til I read the poem. I love the picture (I already told you in shoutbox, but I'll tell you again ) She is so intense and so is the emotion. Reading the poem (you did a really good job on it btw) her pain can really be felt. You did an amazing job on this! @CS - Thanks :D And I can't wait to see yours! |

| Is the deadline Tuesday night/Wednesday morning? I'm hoping like hell to have mine done tomorrow. If not I'll drop, but it should be done. I honestly don't have the SLIGHTEST CLUE how to make a poem for this. I can come up with sort of okay stuff if I'm in that mood at the time, but getting into this one is really hard. I've had to change things so many times already... |

| lol! Oh it's due thursday morning! thank goodness...i have a wee bit more time...(still trying to get it in today - busier than i thought i'd need to be today). i have to say that the more i get into finishing the shot and really thinking hard about the poetry, the more depressing this is getting. not because i can't come up with anything, but because it's all so...sad and dark. i'm not at all afraid to go there normally but this one is ROUGH. i swear i've been near tears a couple of times, and it'll get worse as i start writing! but what a hell of an assignment! Kash, you've given us something SO far outside the plastic cookie-cutter modeling competitions that flood the forum...this is some DEEP SHIT. gotta love it... |

| I unleash my dark side a lot as it is! I'm used to gutting out all the darkness within me through writing (I call them my Poems on the Edge), but this is different...it's the topic I chose. It's just...difficult. I'm making it sound cooler/better than it is. It's just a little rough. I'll just say that I can't WAIT to be finished with this poem... |

| Silent and Abrupt. It Moved. Your very Existence Unconscious. Extinct. The Gates of Hell Leaked. Darkness. Seek Refuge in Hardened Stone Death Seeks an Isolated Soul but It's not Alone. Stifle Unheard Whimpers No one hears the Cry of the Undead Cold. Vice Grips prepare to Terminate. Agonizing Screams Tormented Soul. Fight No Longer You were already Six Feet Dead. |

| As long as she checked the assignment #5 thread in GD she should be able to find us. It's weird not to have heard anything...hope she's still in this! CS, I'm listening to music too, and it's really the perfect vibe for trying to make this picture. I just wish the pic itself was better, but the poem is going to kick my ASS. I don't even know where to BEGIN with it. I have all these ideas running back & forth in my head, but nothing remotely concrete. I'm crossing my fingers that it won't sound like a 3rd grader wrote it LOL |

| I doubt I will think a 3rd grader wrote it...you're gonna deliver! What also helped was I thought of it as a story..took some lines, twisted it a bit..and voila. Like my 'The Gates of Hell Leaked. Darkness.' I pretty much thought of that as a picture and described it. Aint no Grim reaper jus gonna walk out his hidey hole with a cup of Joe ya know. |

| This poem is so different that what I usually write, or at least the subject matter is different from what I normally write about. I actually have no experience with this subject whatsoever, and I have to really put myself into it. There's a part of my brain that just won't let me do it -- won't allow that door to fully open. It must be a defense mechanism or something, shielding me from a frikkin' tsunami of depression...maybe...I'm not sure. But I feel that there's something blocking me from REALLY getting into this and going there. I normally don't mind that sort of thing at all -- I've written a few poems that I could NEVER show my mother for fear of her putting me in a rubber room! But this is territory I've never explored and it just disturbs me on a deeper level. Like I said before, I'm making it sound MUCH more dramatic and cool than it really is. Maybe I just need to eat... |

| This has been the hardest assignment so far for the writing. I think my poem is waaaay too long and not goth/depressing enough. I don't know what to do! It took me a long while to write it, but it doesn't flow like everyone else's. I know not all poetry has to be the same (and that goes for gothic poetry also), but this is just...I don't know. Like my belly button lint wrote it... I just got so carried away with it and I'm really apprehensive about the length and tone. I'll be posting it in a bit...but should I whittle it down or something? Dammit! |

| I must agree with you. This is by far the most difficult assignment, especially for writing. I absolutely obsessed over every word in my poem, and I've been second guessing myself as to whether mine is "denial" or "goth" enough :/ I, personally, don't want you to whittle it down. I can't wait to read it, and I'm sure it will be amazing! |

| Okay...let me just say that I really, really apologize for the length - I had no idea it ran so long, and it didn't seem TOO bad until I posted it here. I'm REALLY sorry -- it just got away from me... SS, if you need me to chop it I will. Arabesque Van Albrecht - DenialA swath of ivory silk and lace Shrouds a porcelain expression of Quiet and sleep Slumber softly now dear child You wail a silent song they slight, Lie in delicate form that only My eyes bear witness I pray Slumber softly now my Anna Rose Not in cold and dark and death as they would tell me They utter words Savage And heartless As to tear my bleeding heart asunder What sin have I wrought to suffer such an Unimaginable fate? Existence without you, beloved Anna Rose, Unbearable Unthinkable Unfathomable Lo, I would sooner rake the knife 'cross Cold indifferent skin and bleed Than accept such circumstance Rather drift the searing ashen antechambers of Purgatory than Bask in radiant life on a barren earth in a Spoiled house Near a Bare, dead cradle Let them whisper venomous words And deliver the baleful eye Let them clad themselves in fine black mantles bespeckled with Tears that fall for a fallacious ending In unfounded grief, Heavy quietus looms in an ominous cloud, a mirage Needless bereavement Impertinent sympathy Nonsensical condolences for a Perfect babe that rests not in the arms of a Covetous God But here with we who gave her life In malevolent banter they opine: "He giveth and He taketh away, That which He bestoweth in earthy grace Be remit to Heaven in one breath Borrowed for now Then relinquished in twilight embers and dust"You and I alone, my perfect Anna Rose, Rest here in this Hidden country, A perpetual bond untainted by Suffering, by morose, by this thing they call Death Leave this place grim reaper, and collect an aged soul My innocent has gasped but a pittance of breaths in this Short life Tiny feet have never grazed bare ground, Glistening eyes have yet to ingest this striking world Plummet into the black eclipse of Hell and leave us be Compel them, O Lord, to see my mortal Angel as I do Not dead, but asleep! Merely slumbering in her soft warm cradle Not fodder for slithery creatures 'Neath the ground Skin that might touch linen finery Not rot in dank and sodden mire Briny tears trail in joy and mirth Not their piercing endless bitter sorrow Entombed in suffocating Silence and Still, This burial a fait accompli it would seem Never will I affirm such destiny, blind, complacent Compliant Obedient Nay could Divine God need you More than I They suggest it is delusion A mind broken Wrecked Ruined A soul despaired Disconsolate Comatose These implications would ring true If not for your Helpless cry this morn One that only I can now hear One that I alone will forever know As they wrenched you, frigid and rigid From my arms that night So shall I seize you from the Almighty's hands And hear no more of This business of Death Slumber softly now my Anna Rose. (the pic looks really dark here for some reason... ) |
