Misery + Gloom

In a part of a world where humans cannot tread, a grand white castle rose high above its surroundings, and in its shadow was the garden where Gloom lived.
Gloom was the younger daughter of Sorrow, the most powerful prince of all the Ills, but unlike her father, whose golden blond curls made all those who regretted him love him, Gloom was not beautiful. Her ash-coloured hair fell in ungainly locks and obscured her face, and the only remarkable thing about her grey eyes was that they ever stopped crying.
Gloom despaired; she was not beautiful like her father, but her sister Misery was. Misery's mother was Agony, and Gl

The Monster, Part IIt is darkness and is not awake; it's dreamless sleep and is bowed to break, and yet, I know, I don't forget, it is the Monster that I make.
It is the Monster, and within me it finds the dark and can live in me; I don't sleep, and yet I keep a hollow heart, the Monster in me. The Monster, Part I

Life of the PartyWhile I was there - in my smoking coat, smoking - I knew all the while as my spleen filled with bile, with my topper topped up and my face with its smile, that whatever was said to the living was dead and I thought that I had to be joking.
Not long before when I saw whom I sawed and I bored whom I bored,
and thawed out whom I'd thawed, glasses tinkled with cheer and I loved you, my dear - I loved you, I loved you so much.
You didn't believe me and neither did I for I am the best when I'm telling a lie, but I'm sure that I meant it, dreamt Life of the Party

Easter SongWhen I look at you I often thrill you, but if you don't shut up I'll surely kill you - with a knife or maybe with a gun? Or with a rope (I've heard that can be fun)?
You always speak so loudly I'm aware it could break mirrors, but I still grin and bear it; all of those shards that lie close by to me are facing at you, if you would turn to see.
You used to love me and, of course, I loved you, too, but fidelity was not a thing for you. You always flirt with all the other dishes - come back to me and you'll sleep with the fishes.
Well, you've always held Easter Song

Complete List

Batman, Haiku, & Scholarships.

Journal Entry: Thu May 8, 2008, 12:33 AM

Mood: Mad

First, scholarships.

You can help =jieyi gain one by voting on her artwork here, here, here, and/or here. It will only take a second and I assure you it doesn't hurt (or hasn't yet).

So, Batman and haiku.

A while ago I held a little haiku contest - it was tiny and was crushed in my hands. Or, rather, it was a contest with haiku about gorillas. I've decided I'm going to have another one and this time the subject is Batman.

As for why, why not?

For a haiku about or featuring (or even just alluding to) Batman, a three month subscription to the one who does it best (or, you know, "the one", as I'm sure that is the number of people who will write a haiku about Batman). You don't have to like (or know anything about) Batman to write haiku about him.

If I can have a minute to myself every week I hope to continue to do this. As for when the winner is decided, I think around this time tomorrow? The gorilla-ing hour, as they say in Ape City.

EDIT: Finished! Well done *blix-it and *Jones6 - hilarious and precise. Marvellous!

Scarletine is the name of a comic-in-progress illustrated by *nati and written by myself. If you ever wondered about that fellow with the star over his eye, then wonder no further. Keep an eye on the Scarletine collection of *nati's gallery for more information.
