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.

J Sudborough

The mechanical camera
that caught her memories
lies still inside
the stitched-leather box.
It’s ka-shoo-ing shutters
sheltered and exposed
loads of familial film.
Old photographs (once developed
and bound in books,
now unburied after death)
rewind time as we trace her
through trials and joys.

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