Bad Poetry

Written by: Host of the Temple, Timotheus Silverwing-Sparrow

Addressed to: Everyone


This is not directed at anyone's poetry in particular. Please do
not be offended.

Bad poetry should always be a crime,
The kind that has no rhythm and no rhyme,
The kind that makes our heads hurt just to read,
And for relief it always makes us plead.

Just writing lines of three or four words each
Does not produce a poem (like some folks teach).
It just creates a piece of broken prose,
And sometimes causes us to simply doze.

So here you have a sample of such tripe,
At least the rhyme and rhythm are not ripe,
Twelve lines of garbage without any cause.
Bad poetry should be against the laws.

Penned by my hand on the 6th of Glacian, in the year 408 AF.
