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.

Honorable Mention The Art of Influence

Frequent Phil

You say get out of here, you tell me to leave this place
But who was it that sent you reports from the front lines of disgrace?
I won't walk silently into the endless night
I won't sit down, I won't lay down for the dying of the light

He sprinkled gris gris on the streets of his hometown
Ten years later, a trapper from the coast found the tracks that he laid down
Founded a cult religion using new technology
Now, my soul has been expanded by one-handed typists and it feels like a disease

You say get out of here, you tell me to leave this place
But who was it that sent you reports from the front lines of disgrace?
I won't walk silently into the endless night
I won't sit down, I won't lay down for the dying of the light

He sprinkled gris gris on the streets of college town
Ten years later, a mother and a daughter found the tracks that he laid down
Furthered the cult religion through the new technology
Now, my soul has been imploded by one-handed typists and it's more than a disease

You say get out of here, you tell me to leave this place
But who was it that sent you reports from the front lines of disgrace?
I won't walk silently into the endless night
I won't sit down, I won't lay down for the dying of the light
No, I won't sit down, I won't lay down for the dying of the light
