Which of the following is the BADDEST of the Bad Poetry?
BAD Poem #1
I want to live with no regrets
But sometimes I get so upset
You see I want to do good
Do all that I should
So bad habits I need to forget
And new goals need to be met
Then along a straight path I’ll be set
BAD Poem #2
I’m writing a book called “Final Affairs”
But it’s not about death, wills and heirs
I interviewed a woman most stately
And asked “are you getting any lately”
My face now undergoing rehab and repairs
BAD Poem #3
I once had an uncle named Zak
Who squatted too close to a trap.
While fleeing in pain, reached the end of its chain
and now my uncle’s…. my aunt.
BAD Poem #4
Once there was a teacher named Kathryn
Who chose another class to drop in
She showed up strong
And biked on long
But knew her own class was better than Spin.
BAD Poem #5
Haiku is great fun:
Five / seven / five syllables.
This one, not quite.
BAD Poem #6
The lightning bug is really neat.
He has a bright and blinky hiney.
What if cows were thus endowed?
Thank goodness lightning bugs are tiny.
BAD Poem #7
Moved alone to Westlake, you see
Wondering how well it would be for me
Went to a luncheon
And while I was munchin’
Discovered Aging Gracefully tv
BAD Poem #8
The flags will fly
The bells will chime
It’s time again for ________’s new rhyme
He stands out
Among the crowd
Which happily smiles and shouts out loud
“Happy Birthday, _________,
You’ve made it again!”
BAD Poem #9
It was Christmas of 1953
Dad got a Philco for us to see
It worked just fine
‘til 1969
The original Aging Gracefully TV
BAD Poem #10
My first Haiku try
Would make a real poet sigh
No talent, this guy
Don’t know about you
I can’t even spell Haiku
Write one? Just can’t do

Maybe I’m back in the loop,
Summer’s been thicker than soup.
Online I get, this challenge is set,
I’m glad to be back with the group.
The poems are all so GOOD!!! Clever, funny, and creative! What a FUN contest!!!!
Carry on, our dear Leaders…
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Hmm….so hard to decide, but I vote for #6!!!
#6 is so good! Thanks for voting!
Number#9
Yes, I love it! Kudos to the writer!
I can just imagine having cows as landscape lights. I like # 6.
Fun to imagine! And what a silly word- hiney!
Bad poem #7 actually is a good poem with solid rhythm, rhyme and clear meaning that we all relate to. It has to have my vote.
Love it! I agree on the solid rhythm.
They’re all good–kudos to the poets! I have to go with #6 because it made me laugh.
I laughed out loud as well! Funny to imagine the cows!
I thought they were all pretty good. But I’m choosing #7.
Fun to think a recent luncheon might have inspired this one!
So true #5
Love it! Bad poetry goal accomplished!
Seeing through duality
Sorting bads from goods
Makes shades of true reality
Into simple oughts and shoulds.
Nuance echoes options
That offer shades of gray,
So badness has redemptions
And goodness only sway.
Thus my vote for Poem #5
As the baddest of them all
Speaks of syllables contrived
With something missing in the end, that may not rhyme with “all,” –such is life.
So fun to read your vote! Yes, to #5.
#10
Love it! Kudos to the poet’s attempt!
It was a difficult decision, but I can’t help myself from voting for #4.
Love it! So fun to read all the poems.
