hey,
uhh why can't you post them in dark poetry? i think it is all all ages type deal, and maybe you could even post them here.  as long as it follows the guidelines, i don't think they can mess with it.

It depends on intent, shadowchild.

You can post it in Dark, but it can't revel in excessive violence or gore. And it can't deal with situations like murder, violence, self-harm or suicide UNLESS you are examining those issues in a thoughtful way and clearly showing the ramifications of the act.

You can try for just shock, but, depending on any moderator's mood, it might be pulled -- or left.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
