Very Bad Poetry

Welcome to the last refuge for the world's worst poetry.

It's difficult to understand how, in this age of information, poems that merely miss the mark can be tossed into the cold world to fend for themselves, only to whither and be forgotten.

Please help us to help them to help us.




We Take Submissions

About Being Submissive

Very Bad Poetry Staff

Thanks for wanting to submit. You're a good person.

While we are ramping up and sorting out all of our whiz-bang computer programming, things are going to remain decidedly old-school. Until our databases and web forms are all working properly please stick to the following plan.

  1. Write a poem.
  2. Take a deep breath.
  3. Read it again to make sure things are spelleb correctly.
  4. Decide whether your poem is an original work, and that you are the author. If it is keep on reading. If not, back to the drawing board.
  5. Think hard and try to remember if your work has been published by anyone in the past. If you are sure it hasn't, we would love for you to submit your work. We don't republish!
  6. Join by clicking the link at the top of the page and follow the instructions.
  7. Next, take a nap (You deserve it).
  8. By the time you wake up, you'll have an e-mail in your inbox telling you that your poem was accepted and when it will be featured on the homepage.
