Yes, this looks like a job for Bad Poetry Man!
making bad as bad can... be. Oops.
Smashing through fussy form and tired trad topics
like a colorful bird with an inner ear problem in the tropics!

"Just journal!" cries Bad Poetry Man with a grin!
Turn on your head faucet and get everything in!
Blah blah about your boyfriend, blah blah about the world!
Chitter chatter is the thing that matters, girl!

POW! to that editor who rejected your haiku about jewelry!
BIFF! to that teacher with her structure tomfoolery!
WHAM! to the fussbudget who simpered about stanzas!
OOF! to anyone who judges your extravaganzas!

Bad Poetry Man is here! Make some noise! Give a cheer!
Write about yourself in third person if you want to, dear!
Compose five thousand lines about the oceans that you cried
when you forgot to feed it and your bowly goldfish died!

Wait! Don't throw that poem about mildew away!
Bad Poetry Man is here to save the day!
Prize it, post it, your Aunt Matilda said it was "nice!"
In pidgin, incomprehensible, inane, something something -ice!
