Today Is National Bad Poetry Day

That is right August 18, Today Is National "Bad" Poetry Day. To all the writers, here is your chance. Write something "Great," for the world to read. How about,  National "Great" Poetry Day???
Remember a rhyme is to rhyme,  not kind of rhyme.  A Limerick is to be a five line funny, not sad or depressing.
A true writer, writes from their loving and creative heart. AI writes, but has no heart to write from.
Many have told me, less words are more. So I am stopping here, so you can add to my list. Have fun day writing away....

This is so hilarious, dear Paula. There is a special day for everything under the sun these days. So why don't we have an international Bad poetry day (not merely a national one) and an International Bad Poets Day!

Your humor shines bright and brings delight, Paula. But I ponder if it springs from the mere presence of this day.

OK, I doubt myself, need to be sure, there is no National Bad Poetry Day, right? Your humor is obvious and enjoyable, but I don't know if it was inspired by the existence of such a day or the day was part of your creation. Either way, you penned a frolicking, funny write. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Dear Paula, You made me laugh and nod all the way through. It’s cheeky, clever, and full of that spark only you can bring. You’ve got a gift for making poetry feel like a party, and I’m grateful to be invited. O' the joy, the sass, and the challenge to write from love. Blessings, My Dear Paula, Daniel

Paula, so well penned. It should be fake poetry day. One who uses AI and steals poetry from others. Sadly the soup has been spoiled by fakes, AI users and thieves.

Glad you had a chance to read my "Today Is National "Bad" Poetry Day" write. Thank You... Glad you enjoyed my fun write. Yes, anyone who plagiarizes should be called out. It Is Wrong... Maybe Soup should make an AI list/page. They want to write AI, then put it on that AI list/page and say it was AI written. Let the readers know it is AI. The readers will then read them or not. Today, write from your heart something very special. Write On..........
