This is the poetry section of the Vampires.com forum. It is a pleasure and an honor to have you among us, and I hope to see amazing things from you.
Your thread will be your haven, where you can bear your soul through poetry and prose, or even write your daily journal so that people can keep up with the daily events of your life. And hopefully in the event, find those of like mind who you will grow accustomed to calling friend, sometimes even family.
In the words of Pier, the first moderator of this board:
QUOTE
This is a place where you can share your deepest, darkest secrets, your buried agony, your searing rage, your feelings of helplessness and despair.
It is also a place where you can revel in passion, indulge in forbidden secrets, exalt in the glory of love, and commune with those of like mind.
I'm talking about the art of poetry, of course. As well as prose.
And as long as you're willing to take that risk...to reveal that part of yourself in your poems...you will always have a home here.

And I hope that this place will share the comforts you establish as home, and you will find your peace here. But like any established community, there are rules to be followed, and as your moderators we will enforce them, Ummei and myself.
Please do not make separate threads for each of your poems or stories. Just click Reply to the original to add another one. This helps keep all your work in one place, so people who want to see them can find them easily. It also prevents other poetry threads from being unnecessarily pushed back down.
This is a public forum, so please refrain from using unnecessarily graphic language or images. If you must, please indicate in the thread title (such as, "adult content" or "XXX" or something like that) so people who might be offended will be forewarned.
Please do not engage in personal attacks on other members. There's a little thing on each post that says Report - use it to report any abusive or inappropriate posts. If you have any issues with other members, don't stoop to their level. Let the moderators or Adminstrators deal with them.
Also...do NOT use the Report button to communicate to us, or to any of the other moderators. Please use this function as it was meant to be used - for reporting inappropriate posts.
As always we are not only here to guide you, but also to help you. If you ever have a problem or question that requires our aid, then feel free to pm us at any time. We will strive to do our best in resolving whatever issue posed to us relating to the task a hand.
If you have less than 100 posts and can't use the board's PM feature yet, please click here to see the Contact Information for the Moderators and Administrators of the board.
Again I would like to welcome you to Dark Whispers, and I hope to read your work soon.
