I've been searching for a club like this one but couldn't find one so I decided to start one. This is a place for dark poets/authors to unite and share what dark poetry is all about. If you write or just love dark poetry, come and join!

This club is for both poetry and prose. You can be a poet, author, someone who often writes or rarely writes, or someone who doesn't write at all! All we ask is that you enjoy the genre and want to be a part of the club!

UPDATE! To all you guys waiting in line WElCOME TO POETIC DISTURBANCE. It's nice to see so many new members, I'd like to announce that the competition is now reopen -so send your submissions in. The first ten will be judged. (Make sure you say if it is for the competition) Good Luck, and good writing.

SCREAM INTO THE NIGHT

COMPETITION

Well it's been a good long while since I had some serious poetry to analyse, and so it's now time for a Poetic-Disturbance POETRY COMPETITION!

So this is the deal: I want to hear your nightmares. Be creative, be imaginative, be dark and most importantly blow me away.

Send your entries to me in a note titled: "Scream into the night competition"

The competition will close when I reach 10 entries

The winner gets a full feature in the club journal and ~Master-Spider 's journal for a full month and either their winning entry illustrated by ~Master-Spider or any other creative favour of their choice from me.
Also you will be awarded a permanent feature in the new COMPETITION WINNERS Journal

Here come the rules

Entries must be not have been submitted previously.
Straight descriptive prose is not allowed, however exceptions may be made if you note me with your reasons and general idea. (This is primarily a poetry competition)
Please spell check your work before submitting it, it just makes my job a little simpler.
A maximum of 3 submissions per person please.



How to join!
*Follow The Rules*

Send us a note with the subject Join
ADD the club to your devwatch list (i.e. watch the club)
Post the club's icon in your journals, so people know you are a member

You don't have to be a writer yourself to join the club, all we ask is that you enjoy the genre!! If you like, you can tell us the reason you want to join when you note us - we're always interested! You include a submission in the join note, though you don't have to. If you do, please state what piece you would like submitted and include the link. See the submission rules for clearer details on submitting a piece of work.

If you do not know how to put a deviant icon in your journal, here's a quick explanation:

Type "icon" followed by the deviant's name. Do not separate the words with spaces, and enclose the whole thing with colons. In other words:-

:iconPoetic-Disturbance :

without the space before the final colon. Similarly, if you wanted to post the name of the club as a link, you would type:-

:devPoetic-Disturbance :

without the space before the final colon. Hope that makes sense guys!!




How to submit work!
*Follow The Rules*

Send a note with the subject of Submission
Include the title of the piece and a link to the piece in your gallery (just copy and paste the url into the note)
Submissions will be posted on Tuesday's and Thursday's. It's a tough routine for our limited staff, so please bear with us if we miss the odd submission day. It definitely does not mean we don't like your piece or aren't going to post it!!
Your poetry or prose doesn't need to fit into the horror and macabre category to be suitable for the club. Anything with a link to the dark genre: that can include the categories of social, human nature, a narrative or perhaps something satirical. Let your imaginations fly!!
We do assess submissions before they are posted, so if you are unsure about your piece qualifying, we can take a look before it goes on the club. Remember, there is no harm in asking, and we're always happy to answer!!
