POETIC DOOM
Or
A small collection of Doom-inspired poetry!
By L. Ivanov
I write poetry rarely because it is a very personal thing – the experience can be very intense and even exhausting at times. No planning or forethought – I just sit down and pour out what is on my mind (and heart). I have written several poems over the last 10 years, though some of them are hard to find because they were written on paper, not electronically.
Exploring the world of Doom through poetry is something I've always wanted to do, yet it's harder to do than stories because it requires a very specific mood. The lyrical form can offer a whole dimension of emotions and experiences that are very hard (or impossible) to achieve through prose.
This is a somewhat experimental thing, so I've decided to start off with three (as of May 13, 2014) Doom poems that I dug out from the depths of my trusty 9-year-old laptop. I will probably add some more in the future.
Anyway, here is a short list of available poems:
1. Club Doom – an attempt for humor. I hope it was successful.
2. Former Human' Lament – a dark and melancholic piece.
3. The Demon Returneth – angry and powerful, not for the faint of heart!
4. The Road of Doom - the forgotten original intro of the oldest version of Encyclopedia Daemonica.
5. A Doomed Chrismas - weird but cute. An old attempt for a Doom-themed Christmas carol.
Feedback is welcome, as usual. Enjoy!
