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.

To my fellow poets I write, Im seeing L Cohen tonight!

talula balula


I’m not the begging sort
i’m not the whining type
without love i am not fraught
though i like how it makes me write
so this poem is not my style
but to compete poetically badly
i feel i’m destined to qualify
so redeem my pathetic inability
by accepting this shit that i write

p.s sorry for resorting to vulgarity
but it shows my limited vocabulary
so don’t hesitate to estimate me fairly
or the muse will punish you squarely
