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.

Vomiting Purple Snakes

Casey Putnam


Vomiting Purple Snakes


Eating too many purple snakes was as
Taking an overdose of Depakote, or
Sucking blood from an auricle of my heart.

The sodium and potassium in
My axons went wild, and
Those dendrites synapse like mice in a can!

Reflux disease cannot handle those snakes, and
Alas, my suicide attempt had failed, because
I regurgitated those vile purple snakes!
