NEWS: The winner of the DJANGO Award will be announced by the end of this week (April 20-26) POETRY: Kaysen sent but one poem with no bio. In lieu of the very long featured poetry que, I thought I would put this one up for today. "I'm 18 years old and 5'10, 280 lbs. My name's Thomas Fraker but i prefer to be called Kaysen. I've been writing for years and honestly dislike most of my work. Others say its good, but i like few of my own poems. Hopeful you will like the one I've picked to submit."

The vampire in the alley
the monster under your bed
the shadow in your closet
the demon in your nightmares
The thought that shakes you at night
the form that haunts your dreams
violates your body
with a laugh that chills your soul
Your heart will race
your mind will scream
your soul will squirm
but your body won't move
Frozen in fear
staring at your nightmare
born into reality
RUN!
Running
from something that only you can see
everyone laughing as you run by
not knowing what’s really chasing you
They will know
when your mangled body
found in the alley
is left with
No heart
no mind
and worst of all
no soul
So run
faster
harder
like nothing else matters
Cause if it catches you
nothing else will
it will all be over
nothing left but flesh and blood
Unable to love others
unable to think for yourself
and worse
emptiness
