Bad Poet

I have nothing to lose, by submitting.
My poems aren't perfect, I'm admitting.
A crime of bad rhymes, I'm committing.
A disease of word misuse, I'm transmitting.
I try to be hard-hitting, but my diction is unfitting.
There are times I feel like quitting,
Then a gem is born, after some diligent editing.

G'day Jacky … some might think there is bad poetry, but that's in an individual's mind, and with so many genres to choose from, all poetry has a place somewhere. Keep writing Jackie and you'll reap the rewards - thank you Jackie - Lindsay
