Very Bad Poetry

I have nothing to write about
College essays?
Topics broader than the Pacific Ocean.
Poem?
Well, I guess I am writing one now.
Story?
No inspiration.
Continue that 12 page story I have been writing?
It is starting to sound like
One of those horrible movies
That I go to see
Just so I can mock it
Romantic comedies
The creativity flowed through me
For a while
But now the creative writing stream
Is dry
Dried up like the Gobi Desert
Twenty minutes a day.
Ok
Does staring at the screen for 25 minutes count?
But 2 pages a day.
Not happening
So I will write this garbage poem
To add to my horrible raw pages
Because I have nothing better to write about
And I need 100 pages by October 26
And because
I have nothing to write about

And apparently
I love ending poems with
The first line I wrote
And apparently
I love putting the title of my poems
Somewhere, maybe twice
Among the lines
Of the crap that I try to pass off as poetry

I am not a poet
And I know it
