Surprise! darkskye has taken the lead in the Endless Nights.

My dear sister, mistaiNletoe is letting me hold this contest for the summer. I must admit, I am quite ecstatic. Due to no entries last month, I have decided to switch this back to poetry with prompts.The new rules are listed below.

Rules:

This contest will run on a monthly basis. The deadline for this month is: August 31st.

All items must be newly written/created for this contest.

All entries must be rated "E" for the forum. However, the entries themselves can be any rating.

Please, no erotica.

Poetry only.

You must follow at least one of the prompts that I list below. Please state in your entry, which prompt you use.

You may enter up to three times per person with three different prompts.

There is no word or line limit on your entry.

You may write in a specific form, but please let me know in your entry what form it is.

Your entry can be any genre(other than erotica), but must be dark, disturbing, or scary in some way. I want something that sends chills down my back, makes me keep my door open at night, or even just utterly disturbs me.

All entries must be posted in "bitem" link format. No entries posted in forum. This link explains how to do that.
