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.

If they knew what I know

Michael Michaels

If they knew what I know

They took me away as I screamed "no!no!"

And space inside began to glow

So I trudge gladly to my bon-bons...

I watch from the bus as the streets move by

no longer wanting Wonder Bread

my shoes begin to dance, and I hear the footsteps of lilliputs, knocking at my

edge where a thousand poems will be written and read


I no longer scream inside

I stepped on a squirrel - oh what a smell!

Therefore the lady we did hide

Gidget has gone to hell

I no longer scream inside

I think we are in for a long yarn

I ask for an order of honey marinara sauce, on the side

a tub of goopy, smelly Calomine is what I yearn

I no longer scream inside

Doing this reminds me off Norway

Stuffed animals never think of suicide.

Eighty-seven notes in my in-tray
