Very Bad Poetry

Welcome to the last refuge for the world's worst poetry.

It's difficult to understand how, in this age of information, poems that merely miss the mark can be tossed into the cold world to fend for themselves, only to whither and be forgotten.

McKeon Hilary

A Short History

Since joining on 30/11/99, McKeon has published 9 works. Let my people eat cake, she cried remains to a work that the Very Bad Staff can't forget. Although it's both extremely puzzling and didactic, we like to think of it as the worst produced by a sane human mind since Grandpa Hilary led the family into a 30 day foray to the land of poetry during the summer of '37. However, we kind of like the quaint feeling we get when reading read outloud NOW!.
