Gothic Poetry


Some of my poems, much like yours, are fatalistic. I dig your style and great use of words. I might suggest spell checking though. There are some very simple misspellings that I found myself fixating on rather than your word intention. I would be willing to edit if you need a second set of eyes. I can't wait to read more from you. Your poetry has a very Gothic edge.

Madness has always had great visuals, its ugly affliction often creating a freakish beauty when it preys upon and plays upon the young and lovely and charmed and blessed, inflicting the bipolar image of the female grotesque: the luminosity of beauty is matched only by the stupefaction of insanity, the opaque eyesore of sadness and despondency, a mixture of prettiness and pollution so striking and inexplicable that it is as hypnotic and paralyzing as a skyscraper burning down, so strange that mystification become inevitable."-- from Bitch by Elizabeth Wurtzel
