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.

Only 60 seconds in a day?

Robert Hawkins

To many responses,
Not enough time.
Addressing each quandary,
Only magnifies,
Another compound conundrum.

Be wary of your curse,
Of being cognizant.
It opens worlds its true.
But your id,
Guiding empathic actions,
Tend to trap you.
Once you start or stall,
Then its enigmatic
How does one respond.

To that superconductor,
Time.
Like fuid flowing inexorably,
Then you realize to acutely,
Never is there enough.
24 hours truly seemed,
60 seconds.
