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.

everything with you is so dramatic

Emily Reeve

i was dreaming of a woman
in too much makeup
but she wasn't scary
like Baby Jane
or Tammy Faye
(what, too soon?)
she was just there, off in the distance calling to me

that's why I asked you,
when you got up to piss
in the middle of the night,
"you going to put on
some more makeup, freak?"
so I wasn't suprised,
even though I had been half awake
when I woke up in the morning
and you had written "BITCH" on my forehead with eyeliner
