There Is No Such Thing As Bad Poetry

But if there was....



the best way to start is to write in rhyme
and to use the most obvious choices every time
keep the reader on their feet because
to me theres nothing sweeter
than struggling to no avail to
read a broken meter

here’s a better example
can you see what i did just there?
you can switch it up at any given time if u really don’t care

i bled for you and now i’m dying
pictures of a goth girl  crying
all these things you must include
if from your work depth shall protrude

swiftly which brings me to my next critique:
beyond recognition rearranging the order of the words we speak
while reading poems of common parlance i always found it strange
that whenever did the need arise to Shakespeare would it change

another thing that brings me joy
and never fails to entertain
is placing rhymes as a decoy
then going somewhere else

and i no sum ppl have know issues with syntax, spelling n grammer
but sometimes it makes me want to go and hit things with a hammer
i could extend this rhyming scheme arbitrarily with “Alabama”
or subtly ruin the whole formation by adding a word like “camera”

ah i almost forget
the one biggest thing you can
do to confuse
the reader is to randomise the formatting
that you use
normally this kind
of thing would express a verbal
flurry
but it also comes in handy
if you’re writing in a hurry
this always works
for me anyway

if all else fails, remember lone adjectives can be quite useful:
desolate, euphoric, blind, intoxicating, beautiful
so bare in mind the tips i’ve shared when writing your next poem
and never ever end on a word with no decent rhyme to…go in


2 hrsh?

 

Author notes

I know, I know, I'm the bad guy. But I'm not saying my hands are clean! And if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? Other people, that's who.

Okay, for the record I do truly respect everyone's work. But if I *was* a complete arsehole....

How was it for you?

    Oh my goodness I love it!!!!! This is brilliant! I especially like the line: than struggling to no avail to read a broken meter"
    To anyone who is annoyed by people who do such random things, this is like the holy grail. I love it!
