'26 Titles' by Akari_Nekomata_Nami 

Excerpt from first poem:

Angel

I am an angel

With a skull of creation,

I am no fiction

For I am born through salvation

In a world of mad sensation.

I am ancient,

I have a narration

About the nation

Of false classification.

'Bittersweet' by _silvernights

Excerpt from first poem:

CHAINED

What defines you?

The desolate woods under the euphoric skies? 

The dying colours under their menacing eyes?

The untamed fear in the midst of chaos?

That dramatic pattern of stars hidden amongst the clouds? 

What are you? 

'Holiday And Seasonal' by JaszElise 

Excerpt from first poem:

Halloween

Halloween is the one time of year and night

To scare people and creatures in such a fright

Kids in costume to see and greet

To go door to door for trick or treat

Deep in the cemetery out there

Ghosts, black cats and scary monsters so far near

They party and cheer in this ghostly time 

So they can dance feast and wine

Halloween is done for next year and night

Have a terrifying dream and sleep tight

'Drifting Poems' by TheStunningAvocado

Excerpt from first poem:

Shadows

Mind overshadowed by thoughts,

Heart paddling slowly in the deep.

That love drowns slowly,

Painting a mere image of my new world. 

Simple words.

Empty beginnings. 

I let a hollow shadow drag behind, 

Whispering in my ear.

As I fade past in dread.

'Soulscapes' by Sherzahd 

Excerpt from first poem:

King of Broken Dreams

As covetous Death circles,

Knowing he has no dominion, 

The wraith smiles back smugly

Wearing his bramble crown, 

Sitting on a throne of dusted bones.
