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.

love is suicide

shaun hull

wake up
wonder what

well why did well why
should well why
why well

dismiss this denounce they
bring in souls not then there
then so if not then
oh, well…
what then, what

preach the gospel
words of wisdom play games
with them and with all again

evening’s soul lay dormant for time
then to reach and try to touch
well, we all reach
don’t they
we do…all do or do not
precipitation to the premise

one when one was two
must have been long ago
did one be one as is or even then
was one no more
than one

placate, dictate, reiterate, simulate
sweep up a bullet in the corner
touch in caress
think of life and, oh well

shelf-less ajar an unnamed friend
lover, production, wounds to tend
a wandering puncture
why, more no this then

this day to feel life is
well, it is and is not shall not be

faith, love, from now until
so weep, and weep from now
until then, and then,
and then again
