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.

Republican or Democrat

Robert Hawkins

Third parties,
Could be described to falling
For the same approach,
Of regurgitated refuse,
As the other two parties.

Candidates.
Being typical yet,
Slightly modifided versions,
Depending on the party.
Can be,
Of kindly indulgence,
Tinged with latent firmness.
But could at anytime,
Crystallize.
Into reluctant admonition.
Although with appropriate,
Overtones.
Of gracious condescension.
With maybe a hint,
Of potential impatience.
And churlish,
When ask certain questions,
Would have appropriate,
Reprisals.
To the voting masses,
To whom fear of losing,
What they have.
The candidate brings,
To those empty craniums.
His, hers planned,
Agonizing reappraisal.
The then vacant,
And not even aware voters.
Of their eventual,
Capitulation.
Vote the way they had already
decided before candidates,
Where ever on the scene.
