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.

Please help us to help them to help us.

Efface of sound/no I will not be a nun

Craig Leaf

NO I won't be a nun
NO I can not be a nun
I am far to Fond of PLEASURES

NO
I-- will not
be a nun
NO
I can not
be a nun
of pleasures---
so fond
I- am--
NO
I- shall not
be- a nun.

Conventicles --and drawing-rooms--
Courts of law--committees--calls
Of a saint Murmured Of a morning--
clubs--book-stalls-- low.
Hark! hist!
Around, I Churches--
masquerades--and list!
The bounds of tombs.
And this is Hell--and in this smother
All are Of space damnable and damned;
Each one damning, damns the other;
They are All trace damned by one another,
Efface Of sound. Efface endeavor
By none other are they damned.
'Tis a lie to say, 'God damns'!
Where was Heaven's Attorney General
When they first gave out such flams?
Let there be an end of shams,
They are mines of poisonous mineral.
EVER BEEN TO DALLARS TAXES I here its the heart of America
Never

NO I won't be a nun
NO I can not be a nun
I am far to Fond of PLEASURES

NO
I-- will not
be a nun
NO
I can not
be a nun
of pleasures---
so fond
I- am--
NO
I- shall not
be- a nun.
