Dark Poets Title Contest: Round II

Here it is again: the poetry contest that beckons for twisted minds and dark souls! I've decided that there will be five rounds and at the conclusion (I'm keeping tabs of winners) there will be a final competition to find...(da da dum)...the ULTIMATE DARK POET! Almost like reality TV, but better!

Anyways, back to the contest. Poems must be written to exact title, I would prefer no tweaking. Since now I am making a theme out of these rounds to test the ability of dark poets, I am making the rule:
you MUST rhyme! Not a big surprise, a lot of contests are like that.

In addition, these must all be new poems. No taking old poems and changing the titles!

So titles are below, any and every subject matter is encouraged--as long as it doesn't pertain to the positive gleam of life. Contest ends November 7th so hurry up and get those works in!

1) Dead Sky Dawning
(Hypocrisy)

2) A Fairytale About Slavery
(Miranda Sex Garden)

3) Carousel
(Linkin Park)

4) Blacken The Cursed Soul <RESERVED> *Britt
(Lamb of God)

5) A Bid Farewell
(Killswitch Engage)

6) Into the Darkness
(Kittie)

7) Children of the Damned
(Iron Maiden)

8) Death in April
(Made out of Babies)

9) The Last Day on Earth
(Marilyn Manson)

10) House of Secrets
(Otep)

11) Solitaire Unraveling
(Mushroomhead)

12) Grotesque
(My Ruin)

13) Planet Hell
(Nightwish)

14) Eternity is Within
(Shadows Fall)

15) Help Me I Am In Hell
(Nine Inch Nails)

Reserve quick! Thank you!

Of course. The rhyme scheme does NOT have to be ABAB or the typical rhyme scheme, it doesn't have to be obvious or the standard. I want you guys to use your imagination and use new styles!

Oh and people PLEASE look at the posts and see who's reserved what. I will be going out this evening and will not be able to edit until tomorrow and I don't want to have to disappoint someone by telling them they can't do the poem they want! So please be aware of what your fellow poets are reserving--not just whats up there!

Oh wow! What an interesting idea! These titles are so great

I would like to reserve...Death In April!

Is this still going to be a contest?

I hope this counts for rhyming!! It does rhyme with the form I have used. So there is rhyme. I hope you will still take it!!

I'll have Children of the Damned (Iron Maiden)

Hes walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home

Such a young fragile soul
Wandering lost and alone
Rejected, beaten, thrown away
There is nothing left anymore
Not for him anyways
He is now a thing of the wild
He tries to escape
But alas he cannot
His attitude far from mild
He's walking like a small child

You stare on watching
Wondering where he has been
What such small eyes could have seen
What horror and macabre
That tear at his very soul
The images that are there to stay
You try to leave but are fixated to the ground
You cannot take your gaze off of him
You wonder if he can bear another day
But watch his eyes burn you away

As you gaze on
You cannot help but wonder
If he is an angel
Or a demon from hell
Such a small young boy...
You then think to yourself, why should I care
He is not mine
Not mine to worry about
But you look on anyways at his skin so fair
Black holes in his golden stare

You turn around and leave
Not believing what you have just seen
A young boy, a small child
Lost and alone
No family it seemed
Just left there to roam
How does he survive
A child of the damned
With the intensity of a thousand ohms
God knows he wants to go home

This is written in Glosa Verse
Glosa-Verse: A Spanish form invented by court poets in the 14th and 15th centuries. An opening quatrain, called a 'cabeza' is chosen from another poet, or song. The glosa elaborates or 'glosses' on the quatrain with four ten line stanzas, their concluding lines taken consecutively from the quatrain and their sixth and ninth lines rhyming with the borrowed tenth.
