Bad Poetry


Bad poetry is like stupid line breaks that drive you insane and make you want to puke. Bad poetry: is...schizophrenic--Punctuation. (that Kills "all" things good! Bad poetry carries your tender heart in its pocket and drinks up your pre-teen tears like Gatorade after the big game. Bad poetry is a monologue about a lover's face that crawls down the page on stupid line breaks. My mother once told me, on a warm summer day, that bad poetry is like drinking sunlight in a glass, on a swing, with your soul mate, in the middle of a hurricane. Bad poetry is song lyrics that make me want to dance with somebody and feel the heat with somebody. Bad poetry is hard to read and makes me want to die cry sigh pie! Bad poetry is bad... But good poetry is worse.
