Write the worst poem you can.

I said "I love you" hypothetically, but minus the quotation marks

It started this way
You said hi
I said hello
And then the imaginary dialogue continued without quotation marks from that point on for artistic integrity and consistency's sake
I was never sure when what you were saying was really being said and when it was just my internal monologs
But that's how we fell in love
At least that's what I told you
But I'm not actually sure
If that was outloud.

Dragon scales

Dragon scales
iridescent, luminescent, pleasant
as it shone under the
light of a big
hoard of gold.
Dragon scales
coruscating, invigorating, fluttering
as the big beast woke up
and shook sleep from
its head.

I am so sad😭 I was not going with my brain
When I said what you wanted me to say
I wish I was honest
I wish I was interesting
I wish I was able to make you feel more free

But honestly
Honestly I was younger then
I was childish
I did not ŦoŔĞĔŤ ßÚŤ

I ČÁŃ ßĔ Á ßĔŤŤĔŔ ĤÚMÁŃ

I'm a nerd
you're a nerd
he's a nerd
she's a nerd
they're a nerd
it's a nerd
candy is yummy, especially nerds.

Egg

Who knows
where the egg rolls
are?
Not me.

i. there are only five ways to turn in a circle;
and this isn't one of them

ii. _________ half a wing of a bumble-bee
------------- and i have no clue how to fly

iii. What might the sun be, if not an infinite loop of light / if only
has anyone ever asked her, or have we all only assumed?

iiii. ________ you're not making any progress here
------------ in fact, you've only just arrived

iiiii. at the beginning of time and space and light and dark
they say, everything has an end / if only we were quick enough to chase the light

i. _________there are only five ways to turn in a circle;
------------- and this is only one of them

Celebrity Crush


I love you dearly

You’re very famous

SO MARRY ME ALREADY!!!

Oh wait it’s 4:00 AM and you’re a celebrity and you’re never going to see my YouTube comment.

of course that's the heart of the matter
we've only begun this poem half-way through a thought
so you're probably lost before
we've even begun
trust me though
i can paint a wall with evergreen branches
peaking out between your rib-cage
arranged into a pine-needle web
breathing into a forest
that has been conveniently
set on fire
for no reason except an imagery aside
to distract you from the lack of continuity
or beginning
or ending
and that is poetry-enough.

I am a tomato.
Bright, red, fruit.
On the supermarket display --
artificially sprayed
with water droplets.
All I do is wait to be bought
and slowly rot
until the shop owner replaces me
with a red plastic ball.

a small chicken runs
causing havoc as it crows
cock-a-doodle-doo.

It’s a wonderful day
in the village,
and you
are a horrible goose

Water

The water is wet

The water ripples

Out comes a duck

The duck says hello

The duck says goodbye

The duck drowns

Goodbye duck

Frustration
is like
a really tall
very wide
red house
which is
frustrated.

Why are you here

You long-legged freak?

You’re not supposed to be in my house

You long-legged freak.

Stop bouncing around on the walls

You long-legged freak.

You have chosen death,

You long-legged freak

(Written about a daddy long legs spider)

the roses are red,
and the violets are blue,
I really hate poetry,
and now so do you.

all the words are dumb,
and the rhymes are lame,
I'd rather do anything else,
than play this stupid word game.
