Adam,
Can you tell me why we have a sad, depressed and dark poetry categories? The last time I checked, those three words all mean the same thing. (I don't mean to be rude). Please brieifly explain because I have some mentally-ill poetry that could fit any of these categories, and I don't know where to put them. On second thought, I might read them over again and try for myself but please just tell me a brief description of what type of poetry goes into each.
Sincerely,
Davidf

there is a brief description on the main poetry page.


and yes they are three different things.


and yes i am mentally-ill, but that has nothing to do with it!


and yes the eagles did win the nfc east! go iggles!

Hi David,

Yes Dark, Sad and Depressed. All very much on the same lines as each other but there some slight differences.

I would say Dark is possibly something gothic, something with some anger in it perhaps or something just very different but quite morbid? Perhaps describing something.

Sad and depression could be considered very closely linked, sad is one thing but depressed is the extreme.

We've just tried to narrow the categories down as much as possible, otherwise you end up with one big misc forum. It seems to have worked so far.

Thanks for the feedback.
