Poorly Poems | Examples


To Put It Poorly

To put it poorly,
You are the taste of chocolate
And the pulse of being high
Of caffeine running through my lungs
Of screaming towards the sky
And to put it even poorer,
I know a bird who cannot fly
A tiny owl, pink toucan,
A gray parakeet named Lice
To put it worst of all,
My veins are reddish, not-so blue
Just like the eyes of eight odd faces
Or the skies midday hue
But to put it stunningly,
So beautiful and true,
I have a coriander brain,
Coral grain and ghastly blue

Premium Membera poem inspired by glitchore that will age poorly probably

Fingertips click a
desperate breakbeat
as eyes glaze over
in blue light baptism
please overwhelm me

Binary jungle,
you glowing cesspit
through the clipping
curtain echoes a choir
of post-post ironic
agoraphobics. 

Dopamine is a myth,
an expired meme 
deemed mega cringe
Let the file rot into 
informational abscess

Here we all wait before
Heaven's blockchained gate
tired of partaking into
a satire so removed from
a cogent solution,
It is simply void.

Here is coldest oblivion in
this stupid cyborg machine,
but the world is so 
Y2K heat death-core
Whatever that means

It turned a generation
made us abandonware
Just to feed us nostalgia
for times when we
would bother to care.

Storytime For the Poorly Behaved Child

“I’ll tell you one about the Big Red Dog
He’s big and clumsy but you love him despite this
Well, kids, Clifford's big bones just turned six!
but bad news, he’s got arthritis

Pain No Pleasure

Pain it's back again 
Coursing through each vein
Pain it never leaves 
Consuming me for its needs
Pain hangs on me 
Theres no where to hide or flee 
Pain my bestest friend 
Haunting me to no end 
Pain emotional physical 
It's no luxury or paradisiacal
Pain lies in wait 
Pouncing no need for bait
Pain arrives unannounced 
Staying for hundreds of rounds 
Pain has no relief
Its nothing but a life theif 
Pain haunts my life 
With destruction and strife
Pain owns my mind and body 
With no antidote or antibody 
Pain rules my whole life 
I just wish I could have the sweet relief of the afterlife.

Trump Poorly Raised

Trump Poorly Raised

Trump himself always has praised,
While as child he was poorly raised,
His greatest goal,
From people stole,
Then idiot supporters truly amazed.

Oh Dear I Do Feel Poorly

Oh dear I do feel poorly 
oh dear I do feel weird
My chest it is a wheezing 
I’ve infection in my ears
I cannot hear a blooming thing 
Oh dear I do feel quite done in

My Parkinson’s leg is shaking 
like I have St Vitus Dance
I wonder just how long I have 
to enjoy my life perchance
What with coughing, ears and leg 
I feel like taking to my bed

Or will my chest just do its best to hasten my demise
To take me to another place somewhere beyond the skies

But wait, I’m feeling better
My time it has not come
I must take a walk beside the sea
Afore Grim Reaper comes for me

So enough of this self-pity feeling sorry for one’s self
And getting so obsessed with every symptom of one’s health

It’s just a virus nothing more
Don’t let those thoughts come through my door
I’ll soon be back to feeling good
The way I want 
the way I should


Apart that is from good old “P”
Whose tremors remind me constantly
But Parkinson’s won’t define me 
I swear I will not let it
So if I can
I swear I will 
I’ll blooming well forget it!

Poorly Giraffe

Lofty was a very large giraffe 
he got ill from standing in a draught,
got a very sore throat 
and sounded like a goat
funny to see a giraffe look daft.

Picture Poorly Painted

Picture Poorly Painted
 
 
There is no way that I should be sainted,
For my tainted  picture I poorly painted;
This poem was bad,
Which seemed sad;
When seen by people they had fainted.

Poorly Chosen Words

I often speak to the moon 
In quatrain 
And verse 
Asking 
Deliberate 
Questions
Of her

She Responds 
As all beautiful 
Visions do
And weeps for 
My garish 
Words

Poorly Behaving Politicians
By Franklin Price
3/5/2016

Poorly behaving politicians
Wouldn't want to be their mother
Their wife, their father, sister
Or especially their twin brother

Wouldn't want to show my face
Out on the street on just a whim
Not  where is he was campaigning
Someone may think that I was him

How Poorly Do I Love You

(revised)
.
.
We have 
the agreed engagement of
fingers and the casual 
brace of arm on waist and
laughter to break the silence.
We sleep with limb touching limb
and feel the brief vacuum of absence.
.
I tell her that she
spent most of her life
orbiting around people
who never learned how
to show love.
.
I ask, 
among the 
love skills deficient,
why am I different?

What Do You Treat Me Poorly

Why do you treat me poorly? 

All I did was give you my love and trust. 
And still you treat me like I am nothing to you. 

You go around and flirt with all the girls. 
Honestly, it makes me want to hurl. 

When you talk to me. 
I feel like I am being abused with your words. 

All I did was try to be with you. 
It seems you don't want me too. 

Why do you treat me poorly? 
I always do things for you. 
Isn't that enough? 

Why do you treat me so poorly?
