DARK POETRY is a book authored by H. M. Ortiz, written and published during the national poetry month of April 2021. This book is notorious for it's sensitive poems involving God, COVID-19, poverty, toxic relationships, illness, suicide, and abortion. The front cover of the book visualizes a floating noose with the upper part of the rope transforming into a flower. According to the author, who in-fact hand-drew the artwork for this book; the drawing represents the two most drastic events in every person's life, which are; love and death. The artwork on the front cover is also featured in page seventeen, on the left side of one of the hardest poems to write, a Villanelle. The book ends with one the most touching micro-stories ever written; "Small hands" which is a conversation between an unborn child excited about life, the child's mother and "the men in white" which at the beginning, gives the reader the impression that the "men in white" might be referring to God or a divine entity but when the story ends; the "men in white" is in fact the doctor who performed the abortion of the child. A few of the most outstanding poems in this book are; "Withdrawn" referring to people that can't find joy in society. "Displaced" refers to eviction. "My child is dying" is about a father who is financially stable, however no science or medicine will cure his dying five year old and "For the nation" which talks about modern life culture, the dangers of media manipulation, and the lack of accountability from the government. The majority of the artwork displayed in this book has been hand-drawn by the author.
