Hello there, Gunner. Quick, kiss for the candy hearts! Masquerade doth loom.

Form: Haiku

I couldn’t believe my eyes when we first met. You were everything I’ve ever wanted, And so much more. So much so that I didn’t want any other To gaze upon my dearly beloved.

Unfortunately, you didn’t see things my way. Your apathy had me seeing green, In your eyes, in my mind, in the mirror. Soon my reflection turned dark and ugly, This is what you’ve done to me so heartlessly.

As the days go by, I no longer recognize myself, I no longer feel like myself. Who is this monster that I’ve become? Let me see you one last time before I’m undone.

You stand before me like the day we first met, Your hair blowing in the wind and eyes full of contempt. I can’t believe my eyes anymore Because they are no longer with me, Unlike my love for you.

Form: Free Verse, inspired by the clusterflux/dissolving skin

It's once again that time of year a time to get infected-Survival is here! Would you like to get Blistered Hearts? Or do you want to feel your Brain Rot? Can I give you a Bindi Bite? Or maybe Carchari-that's quite a fright! You could be a Caterkiller, they look quite cuddly. Or become a Bubble Jelly if you are feeling bubbly! You could become Sticky from a vial, or a holey Lotus if that's more your style. Maybe transform into a stoic Crack Head, or a chilly Cryomorph with antlers instead? It could be that you think Love Sucks and everything's a Clusterflux. There are so many skins that you can choose, come on, get bitten, you just can't lose!

It's survival! Keep this in mind! Spread some love and be more kind. Share your passion and new strains let's go to pick other people brains.*

Sweet kisses, pink plushies, Sweetheart pets, cuddle cutiecorns with no regrets. Lay gratefully Forget-Me-Nots to memorial and clean it with something anti-bacterial!

Make new friends, but no in the streets. Give people candy hearts or sweets with message Be Mine or U Smell they will fall under your spell!

Feeling sick, no one is around so spend your time in underground eat Cave Jelly Bars or make some gifts with help from Alchove, the alchemist.

Win your love's heart, hand or eye, enjoy fresh Chocolate Roach Pie, find constellation of fly, before we must say goodbye.

Form: Free Style, AABB rhyming (*english idiom - pick someone’s brain:D)

Please nom on my arm And change me to an undead Metalmorphosis

Form: Haiku

Something crawls across your body and festers Underground where the shadows reek and bones snap Rushing blood and bruises form butterflies on unsuspecting canvases Vitality falls away like pieces of skin and flesh Into your skull and rotting your brain Viruses spread like a wild fire among the crowds All is lost when you can't trust the person standing next to you Long will the infection live

Form: Acrostic

kissing is how my time is spent; in my new skin, to the underground i went; with the kiss timer i weep; with the bite timer i sleep; carrying my wishlist, i'm sure to make a dent!

Form: Limerick

A blanket of stars An unkindness clouds the sky Fevermore ensues
