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.

Waiting

Ebony Benson

Leaves blow in the open door
drift and scrape across the floor
The room is getting cold.

And from the sky an engine sound
Speaks harmonies that can't be found
Of grey horizons torn apart

Within the doorway safely stand
A memory has no place to land
There's no need now to understand
The autumn night breathes softly

And from the house a yellow light
Spreads a haze into a night
That hovers on the edge of flight
I saw a shadow walk alone.
