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.

Dryope crucified post and beam and rafter

Craig Leaf

3 Nips of Morpheus to sooth my pain,
Which we have bred Bauchis' daughter,
Erewhile for Daphnis - Dryope crucified post and beam and rafter
as if every gin be but a snare,
I'll be cherry after
With sighs heaved un-pastured as the water and perils shall divide
to each be sure their share
Go, I say "Go" "My Lambs,, My Limbs,, My Thoughts
plume in rolling cedar knots
and laughing of love's severer fate
lines the road to heavens gate
crazed with love who wrecked so soon
yet loved too to late
I've seen the sea's cawing of symbolic birds
And I fear, my ears heard
that crab who's crawling back word nears
