Poem

Was just going to take a shower and thought of a great title for a poem, even though it may be emo, "I Cry Black Tears". What could be better? It's got 2 of the 3 main emo staples, black and suffering, now all i need to do is throw in something about bleeding :D

Don't forget the blessed relief of death, and the fear of getting beat up in gym class.

And if I were you, I'd study some cosmic horror ala H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith and Mike Minnis and write a story with that title in the same vein. It's too good to pass up.

My emo friend says it sounds like the name of a hard core emo band, i was pretty proud of myself :D

If you've gotten through all those, have a look here: The Literary Gothic

I recommend Ambrose Bierce, F. Marion Crawford, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, and Robert W. Chambers. Of course Poe, Kipling, and Hawthorne are nothing to sneeze at, either.

And there's always my all time favorite author, Saki

I'd happily loan you the hard copies, but even I don't have all the really hard to get ahold of ones (although I'm working on it) The internet is fabulous, isn't it?

Dying from a hangnail = #chuckles#
