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.

There is no Light

Slim Walter DeTurtlevain

There is no light

Humanity's halogen bulb,
The great flaming
Orb of life
And sometimes death

Has burned out
Leaving the world
In darkness

Until, mighty and omniscient,
Our unseen custodian
Rescues us all
With a brand new bulb
Ready just in time
For dawn
