Bad Poetry: Sunday Haiku
For those of you on my blog feeds and whatnot I'm actually back posting this to this date because I was in two minds as to whether I should be spewing forth bad poetry into the ether in any kind of mass manner so I ended up never posting this. (Plus it is rather awful and critical and I'm trying not to be that, but I really felt this in the moment.)
But, more recently, the bad poetry and lyrics keep coming at the oddest moments (it's a result of personal turmoil and life transitions, and my inability, at the moment, to write well, bar the odd brief spurt, or compose decent music, both of which usually keep me sane and have previously been my creative outlets) and it all makes me laugh, anyway. So join in. If I can't write about Cape Town I may as well write about angst. And if I feel bad about it later I can just delete it.

are there bad poetry? bad poems? or bad poets? i'm french poet, stay in south africa in cape town, on my way publishing and i think bad poetry is not words to express the actuel dark and dumb side of poetry, coz the poetry never has been bad, but it the poet who is bad. i said so coz the words come to the poet and he says that it inspiration, use it forgoting that all inspiration are not always poems. i think poets should no firts wich world they are in before to fly in some galaxies. their is no bad poetry, but bad poets.
Hi there
I heard what you are saying, and do agree, to a point.
However, I use the term "bad poetry" more in a facetious manner, because I do not think of myself as I poet, and the "bad poetry" that I publish on the site is usually humorous (or occasionally angst-ridden), somewhat nonsensical stuff that I've written quite quickly, usually disregarding rules of poetry, to a point.
Some might consider it quite good poetry because of that (especially being humorous, as most poetry is serious and intricate, with layers of meaning and many ways for one to interpret it), whereas others will definitely consider my poetry bad, because I intentionally don't put the usual kind of consideration into my work that is normally expected of a poet.
To each his own - I think my work is funny, but not profound, and I enjoy writing it, so I share it on my blog for the enjoyment of like-minded individuals.
