Hhmmm... I'm not exactly a poet, but I do enjoy writing what I call poems as a way to express feelings, thoughts and sentimental drivel poop. (To quote Farnsworth) Here's a poem to start us off. It kind of explains my opinion of my poems and my reasons for writing them. It's quite touching I think. Anyway here it is, it's called "My Poetry sucks"
In my experience this is true
That poetry is hard to do
After tons of bads poems one might hope to write
A single good poem that isn't pure shite
That's why right now I am writing this
A faulty and feeble peice of piss
In hopes that one day when I find love
I'll write the perfect poem I've been dreaming of
It will be so good that she'll think I'm lying
when I say 'twas I who did the writing
She'll say, "I've seen your poems, they all suck!"
At that point I'll know I'm slam out of luck...
What I really must master if I'm to succeed
Is writing loveable bad poetry
Because even if it makes your ears bleed
At least it's a heartfelt message from me.
Okay, okay. that's the poem. while I don't truly believe I have it that bad -well, that poem was bad, I realize this, but it's funny so it's okay- I think there is something to the idea that if you write a lot of poems most will be pretty bad but a few will be good. That's how it is in my experience. Over the years I've written a lot of poems, just about times I was going through and whatever came to mind. Looking back at them some were pretty good. So I think in future posts I'll post my good poems.
