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.

Elastic Love

dov Spinks

From across the office I
fired at you a rubber band
which arced and flew until
with the finespun ballet of
shuttlecock physics it's impetus
wrestled with the resistance
of distance and slowed to
kiss you delicately on the ear
with the elastic love of a lackey.
