The Goth-O-Matic Poetry Generator

"Interested in birthing your own bastard of diabolically morose proportion? There's nothing simpler. Choose one of the classic topics of Darkly Gothic poetry [listed on the site], then you'll be taken to the Goth-O-MaticTM Poetry Generator. Construct the opus by making the selections that best fit your tormented desires, and choose an appropriate image to loom ominously over your creation." As you all know, I can come up with my own existential angst-ridden prose when I simply am not up for shits and giggles (see post below). However, this site can be a great substitute when you need to let the world know that it sucks ass but you're just not feeling that special creative spark. Must have an appreciation (or tolerance, if you're actually goth) for the satirization of the gothic culture. Also, must enjoy portraying your angst using a series of drop-down menus (kind of like Mad Libs for the disillusioned). Wallow in self-pity without all the work!
Below, I chose the "Feeling Very Sorry for Yourself Darkly Gothic Poem" (there are four other types to choose from). Here is my result (you can choose which depressing image to use, also):

Alone in Darkness the night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, cold and alone are we. the light for which you pine flares once, then dies, smothered by a velvet ebon nothingness. all hope must sicken and die. your passion throbs no more. how could you fail to believe? our dark emotions surround us, crying, we have lost our light. [Note: Oddly enough, this tends to make you laugh after you're done and can potentially ruin a perfectly good negative, crappy mood ~ so proceed with caution!]
