    Ice cream and sun should never meet.
    For here is an ant teeming puddle,
    spreading 'neath my bare feet.

    Try to read between the lines
    It's a matter of time
    Time heals all wounds
    All's fair in love and war
    I saw the writing on the wall
    All's well that ends well

    It is late, my brain is toast,
    But even in bad poetry's form,
    I cannot slam.
    In words and nuance,
    I am the happy clam.

    NEIN!
    No idea what to do,
    Even in this little world,
    I think I will just speak,
    No sense whatsoever!

    This is lyrically on par with about half of Ed Sheeran's songs ...

    I've essentially made bad poetry my career (shameful plug), so I should be able to do this ...

    I Won't Go Down to the
    I won't go down to the
    Pizzeria or the shop
    For as of late there is no hunger
    So I will not jump or hop

    Not hop down to get a pizza
    Or drop or pop by my local man
    Nor go to any groceries-selling store
    Oh, no, my life is such a boring chore

    I worry about my healthy wealth sometimes
    As I hang around doing the dishes
    But I don't think I'll die of thirst
    Even though I don't drink

    I love the careful whisps of summer
    As they fly and I starve myself
    But nothing stranger ever happens
    Than when I stand alone

    Ass fat; needs a smack
    Hunnid NyQuil bottles in my pack
    You ain't shit; you look like Jack
    When he fall off that beanstalk
    My Instagram is bein stalked
    Yo page just seemin hot
    My syphilis is bein hot
    Aw shit, bitch, now I need some Advil
    Penicillin needles hurt worse than my ass will
    When my momma beats it
    Tell me keep them clothes on
    Tired of them STDs; this the eighth one
    When someone's breathin stop from lean
    You know it gon be me
    Benadryl and NyQuil
    Spiders is what I see

    That basically sums up 90% of all rap music ever.

    roses are red,
    violets aren't violet,
    oranges are green,

    who needs to explain
    why a day is called a day?

    glucose is bad,
    silence prevents violence,
    normally that means

    all other names remain
    when the n-word's not okay.

    I thought one day upon a meadow bloom
    That all its ripeness will be gone too soon
    And that beauty is but an ephemeral thing
    That momentarily makes our hearts sing
    But as the flower will shrivel away
    Or the last act of a memorable play
    All men will approach their final day

    This could be entitled an ode to the transience of being- or some such crap. I find a lot of poetry quite cringe-worthy to be honest.

    Please eat your dinner.
    Please eat your food.
    Quit throwing the potatoes,
    Quit acting so lewd.
    Stop hitting your sister,
    Stop licking his knee.
    These kids are exhausting,
    Is there wine in the fridge for me?

    Preposterous, ridiculous, the octopus
    Your momma, she looks like a platypus
    I stuff in gargantuan jargon with pulchritude prose
    Because a thesaurus is all I own
    Fuck shit damn, now that I have some attention
    Let me show why an ass suffers from anal retention

    Bad poetry is mutually exclusive
    Don't want to sound abusive
    But there's no such thing as a
    bad poem
    just because you don't understand
    it.
    Therefore this poem is good.

    If you fart
    The fart to end all farts,
    The fart that levels forests,
    The fart that makes even Superman say, “Oh, come on!”
    The fart that makes even the gods on Mount Olympus scurry like rats,
    The fart that pickles cabbage on other planets,
    The fart that echoes throughout all time and space,
    The fart foretold in the most ancient of prophecies,
    The fart of Armageddon and Ragnarok,
    If you fart that fart,
    Your name will be carved into mountainsides,
    Never to be forgotten,
    And you will likely have to change your underpants,
    And you will be entombed in a large mausoleum,
    Preferably one lined with lead or something.

    Is it a poem?
    Is it a riddle?
    There is something here...
    There is something here...
    Right in the middle.
    Is it a poem?
    Is it a riddle?

    Nah...just a mess...

    along that path to the arched bridge
    as you dangled me on at the ridge
    of a tempermental binge
    drinking again

    Here's three attempts:
    1:

    Don't ban me for cussing
    Don't ban me for language
    No warning? Such fussing,
    It was obviously coming.
    .
    .
    .
    ...
    Fuck.

    2:

    Could a poem
    Under any circumstance have a
    Naturally satisfying deeper meaning? Well of course,
    Take a look at what I spelled vertically.

    3:

    Roses are red
    violets are blue
    except they are violet
    I mean look at the fucking name
    Whoever came up with that poem was dumb
    and don't give me they are blue because they make people sad or sound a blues scale when hit with a tuning fork.
    The person meant color, they said blue, they were wrong.
    Violets are fucking violet.
    End of story.
    .
    .
    And to think my day was going well before this.

    Haikus are easy.
    But sometimes they don't make sense.
    Refrigerator.

    I wish I could take credit for that, but it's been floating around the internet for a long time.

    Roses are read
    That much is true,
    But violets are violet
    And not fucking blue!

    I, too, wish I could take credit for this one. :D

    There once was a dog
    who lived out by a log,
    and made friends with a frog.
    They got drunk on some grog,
    then engaged in a snog.
    They moved out to Prague,
    because the frog liked to clog,
    and the dog liked to jog,
    and the natives of Prague
    take no notice of a dog and frog having a snog.
    They're quite progressive that way.
