    Posie ponies prancing proudly
    Get gangrene going gallantly
    Many Misses miss their Misters
    Trying tears toppling trivially

    I want to be The Best

    I want to be the best
    But I’m not ready for a test
    I’ll need time to get good
    ’Til then I’m deadwood

    I won’t let go of my resolve
    All excuses I’ll absolve
    The best is my aim
    Not money or fame

    I’ll never give up
    And I’ll never give in
    And I won’t end this conquest
    Until I’m the best

    Add a few inane choruses and some "oh"s and "yeah"s and I bet you could get One Direction to put this on their next album.

    There was a old man from Fargo
    who wanted to stop an embargo
    He tipped his hat to his cat
    But forgot his nap
    and couldn't start his Winnebago

    You inspire my bad poetry night, like every single word.
    You are the stench of putrid puns, and you overtake my mind with the hideous sound of your clanging off-pitch cords.

    I want you in my life, though; but only for this reason.
    You inspire me to write every evening, due to disgust of knowing you. And we thank you for this. But don't take this as gratitude, this a selfish tactic-- to stay distant, as you need a Tic Tac.

    Humpty Dumpty fell off a wall,
    Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
    Who pushed him?
    It was the government...

    How savage would it be if I copy pasted my own poetry, or even better, someone else's?

    I like to write poetry,
    about the human condition,
    Except I can't rhyme for shit
    and this poem was about
    hunger, incest and the
    duality of man

    27 crickets all went and bought their tickets
    to see Lady Gaga at her fantabulous show.
    Each of them arrived; they danced and jigged and jived,
    but there was something very crucial that they did not know.
    Lady Gaga was not there; in panic they did stare,
    at the act upon the stage: Really Hungry Crow

    Well done. In six lines you almost obliterated my will to live. Cheers.

    It's ironic how all the bad poetry in this thread results in more genuine emotion than most "real" poetry.

    You're reading the wrong poetry.

    ;)

    Biscuit cheese nose I often thought
    Trembling
    Thoughtful
    Argy argy argy
    Ragged bow, bo, bo peep, boh, bo, bo selekta
    The DJ is man's new God

    It's kinda interesting isn't it? Maybe Wayjor is right and I just don't read the right stuff but I think there is something appreciably uninhibited about trying to write bad poetry with overwrought imagery. It doesn't make good poetry but I think being free to be bad makes people try in a different way.

    The last man on Earth saw that he could do anything he wanted,
    to his horror,
    he wanted nothing.

    Way too deep, my friend. Way too deep. It needs to be more like "I hate cattle. They're awful. Bit you right in the behind. I like sheep, though. They're fluffy. Yay!" or "Last man, Earth man // Come see the white van // All I ever wanted // Was to watch that horror film". Something nonsensical, you know. You can't just go around saying something actually plausibly meaningful!^^

    Call it "Mirrors of a Lost Summer" and clear your trophy rack for the Pulitzer.

    Where cushions are comfy, and straps hold firm.
    Roses are red
    Books are read
    Editing is not so nice
    So new writers think twice :p

    Last night I ate in (a bad poem)

    Not tonight, but last
    While working, hardly at all, on my poetry,
    I decided my food a good tool,
    To explore my creative pool,
    What is poetry if not letters arranged,
    Sometimes I look at things differently than I used to,
    Like yoghurt,
    Like you, dipped in yoghurt,
    Yummy yummy yoghurt.
    Yucky yucky you,
    Now I hate yoghurt.
    The point is sharp
    Stabbed am I
    My poetry runs from me,
    Like last nights curry
    Splendid... Splendid.
    Now I hate curry.
    If I raise the money,
    Maybe I can do this for a living,
    Writing, writing, writing.
    Sometimes, staring, staring, staring
    Sometimes, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
    Sometimes, nothing, nothing, nothing.
    Nothing! Like a hole. There but not.
    Like an empty yoghurt pot.
    Alas, I feel I'm not up to full potential,
    That damn curry distracting me,
    With stomach complaints,
    And general unease
    Still less complaints than my, poetry.
    This really is, like what I release from my bowels,
    And it smells,
    I was not cut out for poetry,
    Can I start again?
    Have another go?
    Is that...'NO!'

    Three blind mice bumped heads,
    Turned around,
    And took different paths,
    But because they were blind,
    Not one survived.

    Haikus are real dope,
    but those damn syllables are
    a real pain in my fucking ass.
