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.

My Shanghai

Donny Spaget

On 8-lane byways
peddled second-hand chrome
Taxis, Relics, Buffets
Oriental pleasure domes

Through convention centers
Pink Light whore houses
Jails, Used placenta
fake vintage blouses

Pay-per-use bathrooms
Haggard gamblers
Shrines as tourist tombs
Homeless ramblers
Wretched. Construction ports Plaid bags, deformed, warts

And then the Sun fades

Child beggars, black feet
Muslim dealers, lies
Vermin, Snack streets, Crooked Cops, Black eyes

Expat fiascos, S+M leash
Hectic dance halls, Ecstasy, Cocaine,Ketamine, Hashish, alcohol, fist fights and
switchblade knives

Donny Spaget has published since joining on 30/11/99. Read more of Donny's terrible poetry at the anthology. Here are three of Donny's latest works:
