In honor of National Poetry Month, I will be writing a poem a day.
Warning: this will NOT be pretty -
proceed at your own revulsion/ridicule rate.
It usually takes me months, sometimes a year to write a poem.
April Fool,
(written on the 1st)
You were the main attraction,
but the film broke.
Now you're a horror flick,
with limited engagement.
Nausea Vu
(April 2)
I've seen you before,
or someone like you,
or someone like someone like you.
Yay! I love this idea!
ReplyDeletei do love both of your poems! this is going to be a fun month!
ReplyDeletei'm doing the same thing, a poem a day. most, however, will NOT be posted.
Quick bad poems you say?
ReplyDeleteI've labored mightily to craft bad poems!
Hurray for you -- a poem a day! Go for it. I like both of these.
ReplyDeleteThis set my heart to laughing in the best of ways! Thank you ... Blessings for this Resurrection Day!
ReplyDeleteSTACEY - You should try your hand at this. You do have a way with words.
ReplyDeleteSTANDING - If I can post mine, so can you. Click on THIS to feel inspired about photography.
JONAS - Maybe if I take longer, they'll be even worse.
JUNE - It was you and Sarah that inspired this, so 'shame on you.'
S. ETOLE - Glad I could give you a chuckle. Happy Easter to you too.
You're too harsh on yourself, Kasserole. Those are both poetry. I'm not poetic and I'm not writing poetry - I don't even feel inadequate for that, either - but I know it when I see it.
ReplyDeleteIn truth, I rather enjoyed these offerings.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the odd poem and i might try again before the month is out.
ReplyDeleteYour efforts here are nothing to ridicule. They're inspirational and if you hadn't put them down in advance I doubt that anyone here would be critical.
Whether you do or whether you don't you can claim to have had us. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNothing bad about them! I think they are great.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I REALLY LOVE "Nausea Vu"! I can so relate!!!!
ReplyDeleteBad poetry is my specialty! ;o) I like what you've got here and look forward to seeing more as I've got time throughout the month. :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm an awful poet, but the thrill of writing it keeps me going.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog & love your side bar, the Lamott quote, Oliver quote, etc.! Mmm, sweet!
LIMES - Thanks for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteJONAS - Enjoyment is what it's all about.
ELISABETH - I would love to see you try your hand at poetry.
DAVE - I rather like the idea of 'having' you.
JULIE - Thanks. Coming from you, that's quite a compliment.
P.J. - Nausea vu is usually reserved for repeatedly bad restaurant food, but it works for people too.
KRISTSA - EVERYTHING is your specialty.
TERRESA - You're right. The thrill is in the writing. Welcome aboard.
