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.

Keep It Together

t han lon

"Keep it together!" I was told sternly one day

I'd just lost my best friend and a tear fell astray

"Keep it together!" how i hate that phrase!

Show me someone who actually does and I'll be amazed!

The amount of things we all go through

and still we are expected to shine like new.

You can't get through life without a scratch or a smudge

So who cares if you're struggling with a little grudge?

Who says every person deserves a smile

when you feel like you've been run over mile after mile?

sometimes a frown is the best i can do

so "Keep it together!!" I bloomin' well tell YOU!
