Murphy’s law broadly states that:
.
“Things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance.”
It is most often cites as,
“Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.”
Alternately,
“Whatever can go wrong, and at the worst possible, in the worst possible way.”
Or,
“Anything that can go wrong, will.”
Or even,
“If anything can go wrong, it will, and usually at the most inopportune moment.”
Or lastly,
“Anything that can go wrong, will, at the worst possible moment.”
.
I am looking for some brilliant poems that illustrates Murphy’s Law
There are unlimited possibilities here so let your minds flow!
I’m giving away many hard earned points on this contest!
I want some great poems from AP’s outstanding poets!
.
.
Examples (Don’t have to use these, just to get you in the mood)
.
1) Bad day from waking up to going asleep
2) Bad experience at work, we all have had them
3) Embarrassing moment that you wish you could forget
4) Bad family experiences; vacation, a night out, shopping etc…
5) Went out on a date and everything went really bad
6) Bad sexual experience (erotica is allowed here as well)
7) Help a friend and / or stranger and things really went bad
8) A bad experience on a very important job interview
9) Bad day completely, and now, stuck in endless heavy traffic
10) Just one of the days, which you made a fool out of yourself
.
This should get your muse flowing
We all have experienced Murphy’s Law
.
Your poem does not have to be a true story
.
In fact, let your imaginations run wild and show
“Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.”
.
Very few rules;
1) No Sticky caps
2) No bashing other poets or his or her works
3) Label any adult material appropriately
4) No Pre-writes
.
Perhaps, you just spilled your drink, dropped your pen and paper, you’re stuck in the bathroom for a long time or someone is bothering you so much that you cannot write at all.
YOU ARE NOW GOING CRAZY.
WELCOME TO MURPHY’S LAW
.
READY TO START….
GO…GO…GO

Please note: May even add more HMs
