Artistic
As I didn't write poetry as a kid, I'm twisting/mutating/ignoring this QotW to suit other forms of artistic expression.
Since I was a child I doodled on everything, and when I got older not all of my pictures were cute little anime girls. I think two of the most "disturbing" things I doodled were on a card with my name on it (age 12) and a paper book cover (age 15-ish).
On the card I drew a TON of "Nightmare Before Xmas" things (mainly Sally and Zero) and as I was drawing it occured to me that Bride of Frankenstein ladies with massive stitches on their skin/clothes and little ghost doggies, no matter how cute, would probably make people a bit freaked out. However, it was the coolest thing I'd ever drawn at that point, although I was worried that I would get caught for not paying attention (I didn't).
The other thing was the cover of "The Scarlet Letter" in high school. In addition to the gothic-font-looking title, there was a massive, sinister-looking letter A in bright red ink, with strange little sketchy people all around it in black ink. I was reading it at a tutoring place and it rather unnerved this one really Christian tutor who asked me in a slightly freaked-out voice if I could please put it away.
Weirdly enough I don't remember making any disturbing images on my covers for "Catcher in the Rye", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", or even "Lord of the Flies".
Ooh, I wanna add a new QotW too: Best. [Whatever]. EVER. Best shag, best toy, best prank, best (whatever), ever! Give us something to woo! about.
