How to write a bad poem.


Use words that simply rhyme like time and dime,,,
And line after line after line repeat the same line
Repeat your sentences to repeat your point
Without a true interpreter then what is the point!!!


I put no thought into lines without care.
I do not care if tHisss is spelled correctly; I do not care.
I do not care if you even care;
Without love and despair, poets will go nowhere.


Annoy the reader, reader, reader, reader, send them to sleep;
Speak only about other people’s cliché’s and ideals…and sheep.
Say line after line without thinking to read,
Judge someone for their mistakes.  Never be truthful and never free.


Never let the words fall onto the page, without feeling;
Never bother to read other poetry and never bother to try reading.
Never speak from the soul, without any kind of meaning.
This is the poem I do not care about…it’s time I was leaving.

Sometimes,
meaningless things are more meaningful in life.
and some meaningful things don't hold much meaning for you.
Mysterious Mind May 2018
Do you ever find yourself infatiouted with others? Not with their body, but with their minds and their story.

Do you ever wonder how they became their present selves? What shaped their being to it’s current state.

Do you ever find yourself sifting through their thoughts? A desperate attempt to learn more about their desires, hopes and dreams.

Do you ever take a step back, to truly understand the caverns left unexplored in their mind? What broke them? What made them?

In a world that has grown superficial, I’m left in a place of teetering exploration. Traveling through the words spoken and those left within. For I wonder, if I learn to understand those around me, those I care about, maybe that depth will ground us into something meaningful. Something worth fighting for.
To have meaning, is to have purpose. That’s what I aim for. It’s what I desire.

the soft tender touch that you imprinted down my spine,
slowly drawing me in closer

the gentle breath along side your amiable heartbeat,
your pulse against my profile

with every breath my head lowers into you,
I have found my place.

Writers are perpetually emotional
At least we have big hearts
Unaffected disconnected people
Are not meant for the deeper arts
What more is there to say?

When i met you
I didn't think
I could ever love you
But now that time has passed
I've realized
You mean more to me
Than the stars in the sky
And the air i breathe
You've taken a part of me
That i cant ever get back
So hold it tight at night
And let it warm your soul
As if i was there
My dear no one

We all have something to praise,
A god, a person, an object.

He always told me he praised the sun.

Soon,
I became his sun.

I never understood when he said I’m the light of his life.
Because to me,
He was the sun.

He brought warmth to everyone he passed.

And then I looked inside him, and was shocked.

The sun that had always shone so bright was dim and collapsing in on itself.
It felt like looking in a mirror.

At that moment,
I finally understood,

That I truly am his sun,
And he is mine.
I know it's pretty bad, but it's my first poem and it's about someone that means a lot to me. I'm kind of embarrassed about publishing it, nut I thought I'd give it a go.

The more I am into
Reading, writing or creating art
The more I am learning about the meaningful asset of oneself.
The more I am becoming
closer to oneself.
The more I am losing others
like the sand slipping from hand.
Everything seems so away
And I am there only to comfort oneself
The need is now how to be better
To serve others and to love oneself.
Deeper meaning of life struck me hard. Nothing matters, no love, no hatred. Everything is so much beyond and temporary. Everything seems so meaningful but again at the end of the day, everything is so meaningless.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Rhyming is overrated
