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.

Gentleman, A Female Exhales

talula balula

Self-referential are poems prone to be
but no i’ll resist i won’t won’t let it be
i’ll move on to the thing that is simmering in me
not self-referential in the way that you see
so now it is time to say what we feel
as collective ambassadors of fatigue and of zeal
time to shine a torch on that which is real
time to say ‘look’ and ‘stop’ and ‘never conceal’
but i’m just a fool and you too are like me
so what i intend and do are rarely congealed
remaining apart when one’s fatigued without zeal
