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.

YOU SUCK

Anapest Dactyl

Write more clearly,
Better, and also,
More sincerely.
Wait no, scratch the last part.
We've seen your best efforts and,
They fall well short of art.
You say you might like to teach?
We really can't encourage that, see,
Your test scores were quite good
But you failed to reach
The semi-secret required number
Of hours volunteered
to prove your
dedication, it really isn't clear.
We really are quite sorry
To have led you on this way.
As you leave, for your troubles,
Take this useless English lit BA,

And give us forty-thousand dollars.
