How To Write a Bad Poem

How to write a bad poem. Use words that simply rhyme like time and dime,,, And line after line after line repeat the same line Repeat your sentences to repeat your point Without a true interpreter then what is the point!!! I put no thought into lines without care. I do not care if tHisss is spelled correctly; I do not care. I do not care if you even care; Without love and despair, poets will go nowhere. Annoy the reader, reader, reader, reader, send them to sleep; Speak only about other people’s cliché’s and ideals…and sheep. Say line after line without thinking to read, Judge someone for their mistakes. Never be truthful and never free. Never let the words fall onto the page, without feeling; Never bother to read other poetry and never bother to try reading. Never speak from the soul, without any kind of meaning. This is the poem I do not care about…it’s time I was leaving. (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
