Poetry



Welcome to the Poetry page!

Fantasy and Horror poetry is a hard thing to define. Most poems have a rather surreal edge to them, walking the thin line between fantasy and reality. The works we have chosen this month range from poems about elves and dragons to poems that evoke a sense of the fantastic. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did as we went through the submissions for this month's issue.

For parents or the faint of heart, please reference our ratings page to view a summary of the intensity of each work
